Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


Summarize in a clear and concise manner what impact this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government. The costs expected to arise from this measure are estimated at: 1) $12,000 - One-time expenses to set-up the loan insurance program, including legal review and counsel, estimated at a $300/hour hourly rate and 40-hour requirement to complete the task. 2) $5,000/year - Ongoing expense to gather, process, monitor, and report information directly related to the program, estimated at an hourly rate of $21/hour and 20 hours/month. 3) $6,000/year - Ongoing expense to cover travel and expenses to perform quarterly inspections while the project is under construction, estimated at a maximum $500/day for distant travel, four quarterly inspections. Nearby inspections to the home office would be much less expensive. A revenue model to generate at least $12,000 year can be anticipated as follows: Considering the minimum number of loan insurance issuances being 25 (calculated at a $10,000,000 fund issuing a maximum amount of $400,000/project), it is anticipated that an application fee of $2,000/application, non-refundable, would be sufficient to cover anticipated costs over a two-year life for each project.
