Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
This bill will have no impact on the costs to the state. It will potentially add a small amount of revenue by the requirement to pay a fee to have their organization reinstated in a manner consistent with LLCs and Domestic Corporations. However, the principle of conservatism suggests that these fees are not reliable, as it would be hopeful that all business would perform the necessary requirements to avoid having the organization administratively revoked. Based on historical data, the proposed reinstatement fee could add $12,500 to revenue collections.

Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
Based on historical data, we forecast that there could be as many as 500 foreign/non-profit organizations requesting reinstatement. This fee is proposed to be $25, which is consistent with reinstatement fees assessed to other business types regulated by this office.
There will be no impact on the costs to the state.
Memorandum
We would like to stress that the principle of conservatism suggests that these fees are not reliable, as it would be hopeful that all business would perform the necessary requirements to avoid having the organization administratively revoked.
