Fiscal Detail and Notes
The bill includes deallocations to the Department of Health and Human Services of $17,000 in fiscal year 2017-18 and $10,000 in fiscal year 2018-19 for savings achieved by reduction in the number of background checks. Other Special Revenue Funds revenue will also be reduced from fewer background check fees by $45,000 in fiscal year 2017-18 and $27,000 in fiscal year 2018-19.
The Department of Public Safety will incur minor General Fund and Highway Fund savings from not having to process these background checks.  General Fund revenue will decrease by a minor amount from not receiving revenue from background check fees.
