| Fiscal Detail and Notes | ||||||
| This bill includes an Other Special Revenue Funds allocation of $344,004 to the Workers' Compensation Board in fiscal year 2008-09 for 1 Deputy Counsel position, 1 Abuse Investigator position, 1 Management Analyst position and 1 Administrative Assistant position and related costs associated with issuing construction contractor certificates to persons working in the construction industry who meet certain requirements. | ||||||
| The Workers' Compensation Board estimates the revenue generated by the $50 per applicant processing fee will be approximately $45,000 per year. Since this revenue will not be sufficient to support the additional costs of this ongoing legislation and the Workers' Compensation Board will not be able to absorb the additional costs within existing resources, the Board will need to increase the assessment cap by $299,004 in fiscal year 2008-09, $288,367 in fiscal year 2009-10 and $298,019 in fiscal year 2010-11. | ||||||
