HB 601-FN - FISCAL NOTE

AN ACT relative to cash dispensing machine requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Banking Department states this bill, as introduced, will decrease state revenue by $61,300 in FY 2016 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 removes the requirement that an operator of a cash dispensing machine annually provide notice and specific information regarding the machine to the Department. This bill also repeals the requirement to pay a fee for each notice of a cash dispensing machine. The Department states it has notice of 1,226 cash dispensing machines which will result in a revenue decrease of approximately $61,300 (1,226 machines * $50 fee) in each fiscal year.
