AN ACT repealing licensing requirements for money transmitters.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Banking Department states this bill will decrease state restricted revenue by $52,475 in FY 2012 and each year thereafter. There is no fiscal impact on county and local revenue or state, county and local expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Banking Department states this bill repeals the licensing requirements for money transmitters under RSA 399-G. The Department states there are 1,499 authorized delegates that would no longer need to pay the $25 licensing fee, decreasing state restricted revenue by $37,475 (1,499 authorized delegates * $25 licensing fee). In addition there are 30 money transmitter companies that would no longer need to pay the $500 licensing fee, decreasing state restricted revenue by $15,000 (30 licensed money transmitter companies * $500 licensing fee). The total impact on state restricted revenues is a decrease of $52,475 in FY 2012 and each year thereafter.
The Banking Department is self-funded, and pursuant to RSA 383 covers all its costs and expenses through fees, fines and assessments.
