Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill includes an Other Special Revenue Funds allocation of $18,000 in fiscal year 2003-04 for the Board of Registration of Professional Engineers, which is affiliated with the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation for the costs associated with establishing a continuing professional education requirement.  These costs include revising board rules, developing and printing of new renewal forms, and mailing the details of the new requirements to registrants.  Establishing this new requirement may also result in a loss of dedicated revenue to the board in future bienniums as a result of a reduced number of renewals.  The amount can not be determined at this time.
