    SB 20 would have no significant fiscal impact on the regulatory operations of the Offices of the Insurance Commissioner. While it is possible that the OIC would process additional exemption applications if SB 20 is enacted, it does not appear that additional personnel or resources would be required.
    
    Potential does exist that SB 20 could negatively impact the Uninsured Employers Fund (UEF) if exempt taxi cab drivers choose to file claims for benefits for injuries sustained while working. Due to the complexity of the worker's compensation litigation process and the lack of relevant data, it is not possible to estimate the potential impact of SB 20 on the UEF (Fund 7163).
