Fiscal Detail and Notes
Requiring the Director of the Bureau of General Services to provide insurance services to allow private landowners to purchase insurance for coverage of land crossing state-owned railroads will result in additional costs to the department that would be offset by Other Special Revenue Funds revenue generated from insurance premiums received.  Depending on the number of private landowners seeking assistance, it is expected that this legislation will have a minor financial impact on the Risk Management Division within the Department of Administrative and Financial Services.
