The Office of Financial Management has identified this bill as requiring a ten-year projection of increased cost to the taxpayers or affected fee payers.

Ten-year projection:

Department of Fish and Wildlife:

Section 1 directs WDFW to recover the actual costs incurred for required inspections of marine aquatic farming locations. The Department estimates an annual fee of $7,600 for each farming location, but the actual fee setting is subject to the outcomes of the public rulemaking process and therefore, cash receipts are indeterminate.

Ten-year projection prepared in consultation with the following agencies:

Department of Fish and Wildlife
