Fiscal Detail and Notes
The Office of Consumer Credit Regulation in the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation estimates approximately 30 new debt management service providers may be registered as a result of the bill over the next 3 years. The office estimates it will incur additional administrative costs including additional legal services and website and licensing system maintenance, that will require an additional allocation of $9,500 in each of fiscal years 2007-08 and 2008-09. The office estimates that additional application fees from these new providers will offset the additional costs.
