Under current law, DNR may enter into a contract with another party (vendor) to operate DNR's campground reservation system. Under the contract, DNR receives $1 of each campground reservation fee received.
Under the bill, such a contract requires that the vendor either remit to DNR $1 out of each fee or remit the entire fee to DNR. If the vendor remits the entire fee, DNR then returns to the vendor all but $1 of the fee. This bill creates a separate appropriation to provide payment to the vendor if the contract requires this second option.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

This bill increases the maximum amount that the Department of Commerce (Commerce) can establish by rule for licenses and registrations that Commerce issues to plumbers, utility contractors, pipelayers, and contractors installing or maintaining automatic fire sprinklers. Current law defines a "utility contractor" to be one who is skilled in installing piping that transports, rainwater, sewage, or other liquid wastes.
This bill doubles the maximum amounts for each of these licenses and registrations. The bill also doubles the maximum term for these licenses and registrations, as well as the term for plumbing supervisors that Commerce employs.
