Fiscal Note, House Floor Amendment No. 1 (Illinois State Police)

It is difficult to estimate how many private transactions would be conducted, but the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA) provided the estimate of 260,000 transactions. The Firearm Transfer Inquiry Program (FTIP) would see a significant increase in the number of transactions needing to be processed. It is believed additional personnel and IT resources would be needed to avoid processing delays. It is not unreasonable to estimate start-up and out year costs to exceed $250,000 based on the ISRA estimate. The preliminary estimates include: (1) 4 Office Associates (@$60,000) = $240,000; (2) 5 Computers (@ $1,500) = $7,500; (3) 5 FTIP phones (@$1,000) = $5,000; (4) 1 Supervisor = $80,000; (5) System Modifications = $50,000; Total = $382,500. The amendment requiring an Internet based system be in place by 2012 will require funding in advance. $2 million in FY11 and $1.5 million in FY12 will be needed, but has not yet been identified.

 

Housing Affordability Impact Note, House Floor Amendment No. 1 (Housing Development Authority)

This bill will have no effect on the cost of constructing, purchasing, owning, or selling a single-family residence.

 

Balanced Budget Note, House Floor Amendment No. 1 (Office of Management and Budget)

The initial cost associated with HB 5480 (House Amend. 1) is $382,500. This estimate does not include additional implementation costs that cannot be identified at this time. Additionally, no funding source is identified in the legislation, so it is reasonable to assume any associated implementation costs would be absorbed by the General Revenue Fund.

 

State Mandates Fiscal Note, House Floor Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity)

Does not create a State mandate.

 

Home Rule Note, House Floor Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity)

No effect on the cost of constructing, purchasing, owning, or selling a single-family residence

Once again the 3 ring circus begins...

"Mr. Chair, can you tell us what the game plan is for today"

 

Chair: "We'll let you know as soon as we find out"

 

Who the heck is running things there if the speaker doesn't even know.

Oh yeah, probably waiting for a phone call from Chicago telling him what to do.

 

Somebody must of needed another days per diem to call this in for a 4pm start and not have a 'plan'.

Man! Didn't think I'd be able to keep up!! headbang1.gif

 

Our State government is just unbelievable!

 

Some days I just want to vote with the "No Incumbent" crowd. I know there are a bunch of "good guys" there. My Rep and Senator can't be beat. But, can't the good guys across the state get together, march into Madigan's office and threaten to wring his neck, literally, unless things change?? It's as if no one has the *jewels* to do anything about it.

 

Sigh, tomorrow, different day, same ***t.
