Fiscal Estimate
The 1996 Amendments to DWD 301(Migrant Labor)propose the following: migrant camp registration and labor contractor fee changes, recovery of costs for water sampling and testing, administrative penalty fee assessments that replace the current system of code enforcement based on citations taken to court, and make corrective amendments to the migrant labor code. The proposed fee changes have resulted from a review of fees caused by the statutory changes made by 1995 Act 27.
Migrant Labor Camp Fee Assumptions
125 Migrant labor camps will operate in Wisconsin in 1997; 112(90%) of these will register prior to 4/1/97, and will pay the proposed $100 registration fee; 13 will register after 4/1/97, and will pay the proposed $150 late registration fee; Total Projected Revenues--$13,150; Total Projected Revenues Subject to Refund--$11,200(Due to incentive to register early and be certified on initial visit); Projected Revenue Increase--$1,950; Based on the last 3 years experience, DWD has collected an annual average of $1,748; PROJECTED NET ANNUAL REVENUE INCREASE (GPR)--$202.
Migrant Labor Contractor Fee Assumptions
25 Migrant Labor Contractors will register for permit to operate in Wisconsin in 1997, and will pay the proposed bi-annual fee of $250; Total Projected Annual Revenue--$3,125; Based on the last 3 years experience, DWD has collected an annual average of $261; PROJECTED NET ANNUAL REVENUE INCREASE(GPR)--$2,864.
Private Well Water Sampling and Testing Assumptions
Costs involved with the sampling and testing was previously borne by the DNR, who no longer is able to bear this cost. In 1997, DWD will, thus, sample private wells, at a cost to camp operators of $35 per well, in a projected 125 migrant camps that will result in 300 samples(125 for bacteria, 125 for nitrates and 50 resamplings), and will send them to the state lab of hygiene for testing and results. The state lab of hygiene will then bill DWD for the testing services. Total Projected Revenues--$10,500; Total Projected Expenditures--$10,500; REVENUES WILL EQUAL EXPENDITURES.
Penalty Fee Assessment Assumptions
In 1997, DWD will receive no benefit from the assessment of post-occupancy inspection penalty fees. Any collected fees will go directly to the state treasury. However, DWD is projecting that all violations will be resolved before the penalty fees are assessed. PROJECTED NET ANNUALLY REVENUES INCREASE-$0-.
The projected net total GPR Earned annual revenue increase is $3,066.
