FISCAL NOTE

	FY 2009	FY 2010	FY 2011
NON-ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACT
Anticipated Revenue Decrease:
SPECIAL REVENUE FUND	23,000	23,000	23,000
Anticipated Expenditure Decrease:
SPECIAL REVENUE FUND	3,500	3,500	3,500

Source of revenue decrease:  Changing current system from 30 cents (0.30) per head to $7,000 ($4,000 maximum per permit) for permit fees assessed to four sheep feedlots for exportation permits.

Assumptions:  The Livestock Board currently charges 30 cents (0.30) per head which would generate about $30,000 under the current system.  If the proposed legislation is adopted, the current system would be altered such that the Board would instead assess up to $4,000 per sheep feedlot, which would cause a revenue decrease estimated at approximately $23,000. 

Source of expenditure decrease: Fewer trips to the feedlot by the brand inspector

Assumptions:  The brand inspector would not be making as many trips to this feedlot, which would create an expenditure decrease of approximately $3,500. 

The overall net decrease to the brand program from the above revenue and expenditure decreases would be approximately $19,500.

The expenditure increase reflected above could be considered an administrative cost. However, for simplicity and to follow consistent practice on legislation of this type, it is included on the fiscal note.
