Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill will require the Division of Licensing and Regulatory Services in the Department of Health and Human Services to license additional short-term lodging establishments that have fewer than 4 beds. There will be additional revenue from issuing the new licenses. If necessary, the license fees for lodging can be increased and still be within the current statuatory cap of $300. This fiscal note assumes that the increased revenue from licenses will offset the costs of issuing them.
