HB 1229-FN - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to state licensure of hawkers and peddlers.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of State states this bill will decrease state revenue by an indeterminable amount in FY 2010 and each year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact on county and local revenue or on state, county, and local expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department of State states this bill exempts hawkers and peddlers doing temporary business in a town from the requirements of state licensure. The Department states it issued 397 licenses in FY 2007 generating revenue of $19,850, 411 licenses in FY 2008 generating revenue of $20,550, and 476 licenses in FY 2009 generating revenue of $23,805. Based on available data, the Department cannot estimate how many of the annual licenses would be subject to the proposed exemption; therefore it cannot estimate an actual amount by which revenue would decline.
The New Hampshire Municipal Association states it could not identify a fiscal impact to the municipalities as a result of the proposed legislation.
