SHB 1360, titled AN ACT Relating to alternative licensing standards of professional licenses, has been introduced in the House of Representatives. 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 Licensing:

To implement this legislation, a one-time assessment would need to be added to licenses that are funded with dedicated funds, equal to the costs contained in the expenditure section of this fiscal note. The cost allocation model applied to current expenditures is used to establish the revenue breakdown. For efficiency purposes, the department will add inclusion of this one-time assessment per license, to a planned fee rulemaking process in the spring of 2024, with any fee proposed increases to go into effect in June 2024.

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