Oh
I'm
sorry,
we
do
have
everybody
here.
I
believe
the
building
is
officially
open
to
the
public
and
we
do
have
folks
wandering
around
and
attending
meetings.
There
are
capacity
rules
and
sign
up
rules
for
each
meeting.
So
if
you
do
plan
to
attend,
you
need
to
to
send
us
a
note
in
person.
You
can
find
those
notes
on
nellis
or
ways
to
send
those
notes
on
nellis.
A
You
can
find
the
closing
documents
now
on
nellis
under
the
exhibits
under
today's
meeting
meeting
site
and
with
that
I
believe
we're
ready
to
proceed
with
our
first
budgets,
which
I
think
are.
C
C
C
The
executive
budget
recommends
the
transfer
of
the
federal
home
investment
partnerships
or
home
program
from
the
housing
division
budget
to
the
account
for
low
income
housing
budget
budget
3838.
The
recommended
transfer
includes
total
funding
of
3.9
million
dollars
in
fiscal
year
2022
and
4.7
million
dollars
in
fiscal
year
2023,
along
with
two
grants
and
project
analyst
positions.
C
A
25
match
from
non-federal
sources
is
required
for
the
grant
which
may
include
donated
materials
or
labor,
the
value
of
donated
property,
proceeds
from
bond
financing
and
other
resources
during
the
march
16
budget
hearing
the
division
testified.
The
purpose
of
the
recommended
transfer
of
the
federal
home
program
is
to
provide
a
typical
cost
accounting
structure,
where
an
indirect
costs
are
centralized
in
one
budget
and
are
costs
allocated
to
direct
programs
housed
in
other
budgets,
with
the
overall
change
in
budget
authority
according
to
the
division.
C
One
benefit
of
this
type
of
structure
is
to
provide
a
clear
path
for
federal
auditors
to
trace
all
direct
payroll
for
federal
program,
federal
programs
in
one
or
more
budgets,
and
to
consolidate
all
indirect
costs
in
a
separate
budget.
In
addition,
the
division
indicated
a
second
benefit
of
this
type
of
structure
to
provide
a
clear
picture
of
the
division's
programmatic
functions.
C
When
asked
how
the
division
would
meet
the
25
percent
match
requirement
for
the
federal
home
program
in
the
low-income
housing
trust
fund
budget,
the
transfer,
if
the
transfer
of
the
home
program
were
approved,
the
division
indicated
that
the
account
for
low-income
housing
budget
receives
a
portion
of
the
real
property
transfer
tax,
which
the
division
noted
was
originally
designed
to
be
the
match
for
the
federal
home
program.
So,
if
approved,
the
transfer
would
align
the
federal
home
program
with
the
matching
funds
in
the
same
budget.
C
In
addition,
the
subcommittee
inquired
whether
the
two
grants
analyst
positions
would
only
provide
support
for
the
federal
home
program
or,
if
the
two
grants
analyst
physicians
will
be
able
to
support,
provide
support
for
other
programs
in
this
account
for
low-income
housing
budget.
If
the
transfer
were
approved,
the
division
responded
that
the
two
grants-
analyst
positions
for
the
federal
home
program-
already
work
on
other
grants
in
the
account
for
low-income
housing
budgets
and
would
continue
to
do
so.
A
Thank
you,
miss
waller.
Do
we
have
any
questions
from
the
committee
on
this
budget
item
seeing
none,
I
would
go
ahead
and
entertain
a
motion.
A
Thank
you.
Do
I
have
a
second
second.
Thank

I

Is

any
discussion
on
the
motion
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
are
signified
by
saying
aye
aye,
all
those
opposed,
nay,
the
milestone
passes
unanimously.
With
those
present
we
can
move
on
to
other
closing
items.
C
Thank
please,
madam
chair.
In
this
budget,
there
are
eight
other
closing
items:
some
operating
cost
alignment,
some
replacement,
computer
software
and
hardware
equipment,

a
transfer
of
a
portion
of
the
annual
membership
dues
for
the
national
council,
state
housing
agencies
from
this
budget
to
the
housing

inspection
compliance
budget
or
from
excuse
me
and
then
the
transfer
from
the
housing
and
inspection
and
compliance
budget
to

C
Fiscal

The
closes
recommended

the
governor

in
the

inspection
and
compliance
budget,
which
we
will.
We

closing
issue.
Is
the
recommendation

of
the

would
impact
or
change
any

the

responded
that
this
I.t
position
would
continue
to
provide
support
for
the
entire
division,
regardless
of
which
budget
the
position
was
housed.
The
division
further
testified
that,
although
there's
only
one
it
professional

the

Thank

again
for

The
second
major
closing
issue
is
the
recommended
transfer
of
the
affordable
housing
advocate
position
from
this
budget
to
the
housing
division
budgeted,
and
this
would
result

fiscal
year,
22
and
104
135

C
In

this

a
reduction
of
cost
allocation
reimbursement
revenue
of
fifty
nine
thousand
five
hundred
fifty
eight
dollars
and
sixty
thousand
three

twenty
twenty
two
now
forty
three
thousand
seven
hundred
eighty
one
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
2023
in
this
budget.
C
The
division
indicates.
The
affordable
housing
advocate
responds
to
about
25
calls
per
week,
which
has
increased
due
to
the
impact
of
the
code
19
pandemic
and
overall
during
the
2019-21
biennium.
To
date,
the
advocate
has
helped
approximately
1500
residents
statewide
during
the
budget
hearing
the
subcommittee
question
whether
the
transfer
of
this
position
would
change
any
activities
or
duties
currently
performed
by
the
affordable
housing
advocate
the
division
responded
that
if
the
transfer
were
to
be
approved
there
would
be
no
change
or
responsibilities
or

or
the
oversight
provided
by
this
position.
C
The
division
further
testified.
This
position
represents
constituents
in
all
of
the
divisions
programs
and
by
transferring
this
position
to
the
housing
division
budget,
which
serves
as
a
central
indirect
cost
center.
This
would
streamline
the
allocation
of
cost
to
the
budgets
in
which
the
affordable
housing
advocate
position
provides
constituent
assistance.
C
Does
the
subcommittee
wish
to
recommend
approval
of
the

of
the
unclassified,
affordable

real
estate
education
and
research
budget,
which
was
heard
by
the
subcommittee
on
february
25th
2021
and
can
be
located
on
page
23
of
the
closing
packet.
The
real
estate
education
and
research
budget
is
funded
through
a
transfer
from
the
real
estate
recovery
budget.
B
Account
budget
account
3827
of
any
balance
over
300
000
remaining
at
the
end
of
a
fiscal
year
and
is
responsible
for
the
review
and
approval
of
continuing
education
courses
and
licensing
of
instructors
for
these
courses.
There
are
two
major
closing
issues
in
this
budget
account.
The
first
major
issue
is
decision
unit
e-225,
in
which
the
governor
recommends
the
elimination
of
two
vacant
administrative
assistant
positions
and
the
declining
reserve
levels
corresponding
in
this
budget
account.
B
The
elimination
of
these
two
positions
would
reduce
the
budget's
positions
from
six
to
four
full-time
positions
and
is
recommended
due
to
the
decreasing
reserves
in
this
budget
account
due
to
increasing
expenditures.
The
two
positions
recommended
for
elimination
include
an
administrative
assistant,
one
position
and.
B
Since
these
positions
have
been
vacant,
the
agency
indicates
these
duties
are
now
being
performed
by
the
remaining
four
employees
in
the
education
section.
The
division
testified
that
should
the
recommended
positions
be
eliminated,
the
division
would
likely
request
a
new
position
or
to
reclassify
an
existing
position
during
the
interim
or
next
budget
cycle
to
address
increased
workload
as
a
result
of
an
increase
in
new
licensees
from
this
biennium.
That
is
expected
to
continue
in
the
upcoming
biennium.
B
In
addition,
the
division
testified
that
retaining
one
position
would
be
beneficial
to
address
the
increased
workload.
However,
maintaining
both
positions
would
negatively
impact
the
budget's
reserve
levels,
given
the
division's
testimony
regarding
the
increased
workload,
this
biennium
in
the
challenge
posed
by
the
recommended
elimination
of
the
two
administrative
assistant
positions
and
the
agency's
reserve
levels.
The
subcommittee
may
wish
to
consider
various
options
related
to
decision
unit
e-225
the
table
at
the
top
of
page
26
provides
an
overview
of
the
agency's
base
reserve
levels
prior
to
any
decision
units
and
three
possible
options
for
the
subcommittee's
consideration.
B
Lastly,
option
c
would
eliminate
one
administrative
assistant
to
position,
but
retain
one
administrative
assistant,
one
position
to
address
the
increased
workload
and
would
result
in
a
projected
41
days
of
operating
expenses
in
reserve
at
the
end
of
fiscal
year,
2023
or
four
days
less
than
the
targeted
45-day
reserve
level.
Therefore,
the
options
for
the
subcommittee
are
option:
a
approve,
the
governor's
recommendation
to
eliminate
two
vacant:
full-time
administrative
assistant
positions
resulting
in
cost
savings
and
a
corresponding
increase
in
reserves.
B
Totaling
one
hundred
thirteen
thousand
twenty
seven
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
2022
in
117
669
in
fiscal
year,
2023
or
option
b
approve
the
elimination
of
one
vacant;
full-time
administrative
assistant,
one
position
resulting
in
cost
savings
and
a
corresponding
increase
in
reserves.
Totaling
fifty
four

Twenty
twenty
two
and
fifty

or
option
c
approve
the
elimination
of
one
vacant;
full-time
administrative
assistant,
two
position
resulting
in
cost
savings
and
a
corresponding
increase
in
reserves.
A
I
would
just
like
to
I'd
like
to
say
that,
seeing
as
we
are,
we
are
expecting
an
increased
workload
and
seeing
an
increased
workload
for
this
particular
division
and
the
the
difference
between
option
b
and
option
c
are
only
really
four
days
of
reserve
savings.
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
move
that
we
approve
the
elimination
of
one
vacant,
full-time
administrative
assistant,
one
position
resulting
in
cost
savings
and
a
corresponding
increase
in
reserves,
totaling
fifty
four

A
Thank
you.
I
have
a
motion
from
chair
brooks
and
a
second
from
what
vice
chair
houdiki.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
motion
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor?
I
I
I,

We
may

to
the
next
item.

Thank
you,
madam

fiscal
for
the
record.
The
second
major
issue
for
the
subcommittee's
consideration
this
evening
is
decision
unit
e-551,
which
can
be
found
on
the
bottom
of
page
26
of
the
closing
document
which
the
governor
recommends.
The
upgrade
of
the
agency's
existing
legacy
licensing
system
to
an
integrated
system
to
reduce
manual
processes
and
streamline
education-related
business
functions.
The
agency
indicates
the
current
system
relies
heavily
on
manual
processes,
while
the
proposed
system
upgrade
would
help
to
manage
current
workload
with
the
division's
current
staffing
levels.
B
B
The
agency
testified
that
the
current
system
is
not
fully
integrated
and
as
such,
results
in
licensees
having
to
bring
their
continuing
education
paperwork
to
the
facility
or
send
it
through
the
mail,
whereas
an
integrated
database
would
allow
this
information
to
be
uploaded
and
tracked
through
the
system.
A
consulting
group
identified
key
components
to
be
included
in
a
new
licensing
system
which
includes
the
ability
to
track
and
maintain
course,
schedules
complete
and
submit
all
education
applications
and
other
various
components.
D
A

A
A
I
would
oh
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
I
I,
those
opposed,
nay.
Okay.
Thank
the
motion
passes
unanimously.
With
those
present
we
can
move
on
to
the
other
closing
items.
B
Thank
you,
madam

for
the
record

There
are
three
other
closing
items
that
are
identified
in
the
table
on
the
top
of
page
28
of
the
closing
document.
Other
closing
item,
one
is
for
software
and
other
closing
items.
Two
and
three
are
cost
allocation.
Adjustments
and
fiscal
staff
recommends
all
other
closing
items
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
with
authority
for
staff
to
make
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.

Thank

The
next
budget
account
for
the
subcommittee's
consideration
this
evening
is
the
taxi
cab
authority,
which
was
heard
by
the
subcommittee
on
march
16
2021
and
can
be
located
on
page
29
of
the
closing
packet.
The
taxi
cab
authority
regulates
the
taxi
cab
industry
in
clark
county
and
performs
three
primary
public
safety
functions,
which
includes
permitting
vehicle
inspection
and
enforcement
and
is
primarily
funded
through
a
20
cent
fee
assessed
on
every
taxi
cab
trip,
as
well
as
other
various
fee
revenues.
B
B
The
governor
recommends
the
elimination
of
one
vacant,
public
safety,
dispatcher
position
in
one
vacant,
taxicab
vehicle
inspector
position
and
according
to
the
agency,
the
positions
recommended
for
elimination
are
no
longer
justified.
Given
present
industry
output,
the
agency
indicates
the
proposed
eliminations
should
have
no
impact
on
the
workload
of
the
agency's
other
existing
staff,
as
these
positions
are
currently
vacant.
B
The
agency's
current
enforcement
coverage
is
18
hours
a
day
7
days
a
week
which
is
6am
to
midnight
during
the
budget
hearing.
The
agency
testified
that
the
elimination
of
the
graveyard
shift
was
eliminated
due
to
budget
and
staffing
constraints,
but
the
agency
still
conducts
enforcement
on
a
targeted
basis
after
midnight
in
an.
D
B
To
deter
unlawful
passenger
transportation.
In
addition,
the
agency
testified
that
the
recommended
eliminations
are
necessary.
It
would
not
impact
the
tax
cap
authority's
ability
to
fulfill
its
regulatory
and
enforcement
duties,
but
any
further
budget
reductions
in
future
biennium
in
the
form
of
personnel
cuts
would
impact
the
agency's
ability
to
perform
its
required
functions.
B
The
taxi
cab
authority
has
faced
concerns
regarding
solvency
over
the
past
several
fiscal
years
due
to
market
share
loss
from
rideshare
companies,
which
the
2019
legislature
helped
to
address
the
agency's
financial
stability
by
eliminating
15
vacant
positions
and
increasing
the
annual
assessment
charge
to
tax
cap
companies
from
100
to
300
per
cap
per
year.
However,.
B
B
The
executive
budget
reflects
a
base
reserve
level
of
approximately
67
days
of
expenditures
at
the
end
of
fiscal
year,
2023
prior
to
any
decision
units.
However,
if
this
budget
were
approved,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
inclusive
of
all
decision
units,
the
reserves
would
be
projected
to
be
approximately
140
days
of
expenditures.
A
D
A
Thank
you.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
motion?
Oh
I'm
sorry,
I
need
a
second.
I
have
a
motion
from
chair
brooks
and
a
second
from
vice
chair
howard
again
now.
Is
there
any
discussion
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
the
suppose,
nay,
the
motion
passes
unanimously
with
those
present
miss
ryan.
Please
move
on
to
the
next
item.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair
madison,
ryan
lcd
fiscal
for
the
record.
The
second
major
closing
issue
is
decision
unit
e
900,
which
can
be
found
in
the
middle
of
page
32,
which
the
governor
recommends.
The
transfer
of
one
vacant,
I.t
professional
position
from
the
taxi
cab
authority
budget
to
the
department's
director's
office
budget
account
4681.
B
According
to
the
agency,
the
I.t
professional
position
is
being
recommended
to
transfer,
as
it
is
no
longer
justified.
Given
the
current
workload
in
the
taxicab
authority
budget,
the
agency
indicates
that
the
primary
purpose
for
the
I.t
position
within
the
taxicab
authority
budget
was
to
provide
I.t
support
and
oversee
the
implementation
of
a
new
enterprise
information
system.
However,
the
position
has
been
vacant
since
october
2019..
B
The
agency
indicates
that
it
received
it
support
from
the
business
and
industry
administration,
I.t
staff
to
implement
phase
two
of
the
agency's
records
management
system
and
would
continue
to
receive
it
support
through
the
director's
office.
If
this
recommendation
were
to
be
approved,
the
transfer
of
this
I.t
professional
position
to
the
director's
office
would
result
in
two
total
I.t
positions
to
provide
to
provide
I.t
support
to
the
department's
director's
office
in
agencies
in
the
las
vegas
office.
B
Additionally,
the
agency
indicated
that
when
it
begins
phase
three
implementation
of
the
records
management
system,
it
could
receive
the
necessary
support
from
business
and
industry
administration
I.t
staff.
That
would
not
need
to
re-establish
an
I.t
position
in
order
to
do
so.
Staff
would
note
that
on
april
20th
the
subcommittee
recommended
the
corresponding
decision
unit
in
the
director's
office
budget
be
closed
contingent
consistent
with
the
subcommittee's
decision.
Regarding
this
decision
unit.
C
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
move
that
we
recommend
approval
of
the
governor's
recommendation
to
transfer
a
vacant
I.t
professional
position,
as
indicated
by
staff.
A
B
Thank
you,
madam

as
recommended
by
the
governor
and
other

Thank
you,
madam

The
next
budget
account
for
the
subcommittee's
consideration
is
the
office
of
the
labor
commissioner,
which
was
heard
by
the
subcommittee
on
march
16
2021
and
can
be
located
on
page
35
of
the
closing
packet.
The
labor
commissioner
is
funded
entirely
through
general
fund
appropriations
and
is
responsible
for
the
enforcement
of
labor
laws
in
the
state
which
includes
investigating
wage
claims,
prevailing
wage
rates
and
enforcement
and
use
of
apprentices
on
public
works
projects.
B
In
turn,
there
are
two
major
closing
issues
for
the
subcommittee's
consideration.
The
first
major
issue
is
decision
unit
e805,
which
the
governor
recommends.
The
reclassification
of
a
vacant
administrative
assistant,
2
position
to
a
compliance
audit
investigator
2
position
to
address
increased
workload
on
the
office
of
the
labor.
Commissioner.
The
agency
notes
that
the
responsibilities
placed
on
the
agency
have
increased
due
to
statutory
and
regulatory
changes.
B
The
agency
has
indicated
that
the
number
of
surveys
requiring
review
by
the
agency
and
determining
the
calculation
of
the
prevailing
wage
rate
by
region
has
increased
as
well,
which
requires
additional
staff
time
needed
for
review.
The
agency
indicates
that
the
compliance
audit
investigator
position,
if
approved,
would
assist
in
managing
public
works
projects
and
prevailing
wage
programs
and
testimony
provided
by
the
agency
during
the
budget
hearing
the
agency
indicated
that,
should
the
reclassification
not
be
approved,
the
agency
would
assess
how
much
additional
work
investigative
staff
could
handle
and
identify
other
ways
to
increase
efficiency.
B
The
agency
testified
that
current
investigative
staff
average
around
400
to
500
cases
per
fiscal
year,
while
the
ideal
case
load
per
investigator
would
be
200
to
250
cases
per
fiscal
year.
Staff
would
note
that
if
the
subcommittee
recommends
approval
of
this
decision
unit
and
the
division
of
human
resource
management
ultimately
does
not
recommend
the
reclassification
from
an
administrative
assistant
to
position
to
a
compliance.
Audit
investigator
2
position.
Any
general
fund
personnel
saving
should
revert
back
to
the
general
fund
at
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year.
D
A
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair
madison,
ryan,
lcp,
fiscal
for
the
record.
The
second
major
issue
for
the
subcommittee's
consideration
is
decision,
unit
e550,
which
can
be
found
on
page
37
of
the
closing
packet,
where
the
governor
recommends
general
fund
appropriations
for
the
implementation
of
a
labor
certified
payroll,
tracker
compliance
and
workforce
manager.
Software
system,
the
agency
indicates
the
software
enhancement
would
allow
the
agency
to
gain
electronic
access
to
payroll
reports
and
the
ability
to
analyze
and
expedite
the
review
of
data
which
the
agency
indicates
is
currently
performed
manually
by
staff.
B
In
addition,
the
software
system
would
allow
the
agency
to
monitor
public
works
projects
track
apprenticeship,
utilization
in
public
works
projects,
track
workforce
and
employment
data
and
prevailing
wage
data.
The
agency
further
notes
that
the
labor
certified
payroll,
tracker
compliance
and
workforce
manager
software
system
would
be
an
additional
it
resource.
B
In
addition
to
the
agency's
current
system
that
tracks
wage
claims
and
complaints,
the
agency
testified
that
the
software
system
would
help
to
increase
efficiency,
as
it
would
help
to
reduce
manual
processes,
which
is
considered
to
be
an
inefficient
use
of
staff
time,
and
there
could
be
additional
benefits
that
would
allow
staff
to
focus
their
time
on
investigations
and
other
assignments.
Should
this
recommendation
be
approved,
the
actual
implementation
of
the
software
system
is
expected
to
take
up
to
six
months
to
complete.

B
A
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair
madison,
ryan
lcb,
fiscal
for
the
record.
There
are
two
other
closing
items
in
this
budget
account
on
page
38,
which
are
cost
allocation.
Adjustments
and
fiscal
staff
recommends
all
other
closing
items
be
approved,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
with
authority
to
make

adjustments
as
necessary.
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
move
to
recommend
the
approval
of
general
fund
appropriations

A

Thank
you,
madam
chair
madison,
ryan
lcb,
fiscal
for
the
record.
The
next
budget
account
for
the
subcommittee's
consideration
is
the
division
of
financial
institutions,
which
was
heard
by
the
subcommittee
on
march
16
2021
and
can
be
located
on
page
39
of
the
closing
packet.
The
division
of
financial
institutions
is
responsible
for
licensing
and
regulatory
regulating
depository
fiduciary
and
non-depository
financial
institutions.
B
This
budget
is
funded
through
licensing
fees
and
industry
assessments,
and
there
are
two
major
closing
issues
in
this
budget.
The
first
major
closing
issue
is
the
governor's
recommendation
for
three
new
full-time
financial
institutions,
examiner
positions
which
the
agency
indicates
would
assist
in
depository
examinations,
specifically
those
examinations
related
to
savings
banks.
The
agency
indicates
the
addition
of
these
positions
would
allow
for
other
examination
requirements
to
be
met,
while
also
being
able
to
facilitate
lengthy
savings
bank
examinations.
B
The
division
testified
that
the
three
additional
full-time
financial
institutions
examiner
positions,
were
determined
to
be
needed
to
effectively
address
the
significant
number
of
assets
within
the
charles
schwab
trust
bank.
The
division
indicated
that
it
currently
does
not
have
sufficient
resources
to
perform
these
examinations
as
thoroughly
as
should
be
done
and,
as
such,
has
limited
the
scope
of
the
examinations
in
order
to
complete
them
while
using
existing
resources.
B
The
division
testified
that
the
training
required
for
financial
institutions
examiner
staff,
is
extensive
and
takes
no
less
than
four
years
to
fully
complete
all
of
the
federal
deposit
insurance
corporation
training.
The
division
indicated
the
current
plan
to
fill
the
three
recommended
financial
institutions.
Examiner
positions
would
be
to
promote
current
staff
within
the
division,
as
the
division
indicated
is
difficult
to
hire
individuals
outside
the
organization
without
any
prior
training.
B
To
fill
these
roles,
the
division
would
then
hire
individuals
to
begin
in
the
non-depository
side
to
begin
the
extensive
training
process
during
the
budget
hearing
the
division
testified.
The
agency
would
pervert
prefer
the
additional
free
positions
start
as
soon
as
possible
and
that
it
would
be
beneficial
to
have
the
positions
begin
july.
1
2021,
instead
of
the
traditional
october
1
2021
start
date.
A
D
A
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair
madison,
ryan,
lcp,
fiscal
for
the
record.
The
second
major
issue
for
the
subcommittee's
consideration
is
decision
unit
e550,
in
which
the
governor
recommends
the
migration
from
the
division's
current
legacy
licensing
system
to
the
nationwide
multi-state
licensing
system.
The
agency
indicates
the
current
licensing
system
is
lacking
functionality
and
that
the
new
system
would
provide
much
needed,
up-to-date
functionality,
streamline
processes
and
allow
for
fees
to
be
paid
electronically.
B
The
agency
indicates
the
system
would
allow
for
licensing
examination
and
enforcement
functionality
and
would
allow
the
division
to
have
the
capability
to
process
license
applications
and
renewals
online
in
a
central
database
which
the
division
indicates.
It's
currently
handled
using
a
paper-based
system,
the
division
testified.
The
migration
to
the
nationwide
multi-state
licensing
system
would
make
information
from
other
states
already
utilizing
the
system
accessible
to
the
division.
When
processing
licensing
requests
the
division
notes,
the
licensing
system
would
reduce
the
processing
time
required
for
licensees
to
obtain
licensing
and
reduce
staff.
Workload
related
to
licensing
the
agency
indicates.
B
B
In
addition,
the
division
testified
the
financial
impact,
the
transition
to
the
nationwide
multi-state
licensing
system
would
have
on
private
sector
licensees
would
be
minimal
and
would
provide
a
potential
overall
cost
savings
to
licensees,
as
they
could
renew
in
multiple
states
at
once,
which
could
save
them
on
postage
and
staff
time.
The
agency
indicated
that
private
sector
licensees
would
be
responsible
for
the
2.5
service
fee
associated
with
credit
card
payments,
as
well
as
an
annual
100
company
license
renewal,
20
per
branch,
renewal
and
30
dollar
individual
renewal
fee.
A
B
B
The
first
two
closing
items
are
cost
allocation
adjustments
and
the
third
closing
item
is
for
replacement
equipment,
which
staff
recommends
a
technical
adjustment
to
remove
22
laptop
docking
stations
that
were
purchased
in
fiscal
year
2021
and
are
no
longer
needed
by
the
agency.
So
fiscal
staff
recommends
other
closing
items.
One
and
two
be
closed,
as
recommended
by
the
governor
and
other
closing
item
three
be
closed
with
denoted
technical
adjustment
and
fiscal
staff
request
authority
for
staff
to
make
other
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
move
to
recommend
approval
of
the
migration
from
the
current
legacy
licensing
system
to
the
national
multi-state
licensing
system,
funded
with
reserve
reductions
of
41
500
in
fy
2022
contingent
upon
the
passage
of
bill,
draft
request,
55-1095
or
other
enabling
legislation
and
other
closing
items
be
closed.
As
recommended
by
the
governor
with
noted
technical
adjustments
and
other
technical
adjustments
as
necessary.
A
B
I
will
pause
following
my
presentation
of
each
budget
to
allow
for
questions
and
when
I
have
presented
the
last
budget

group

have
been

The

may
wish
to
ask

a
single
motion

staff
is
responsible
for
developing
