FISCAL IMPACT
The bill would allow the continued administration and collection of the two fees beyond their current sunset date of October 1, 2010, and until October 1, 2012. The Department received an average of approximately $6.5 million from the fingerprint processing fee and $3.9 million from the ICHAT fee over each of the last two years. The fees are used by the Department of State Police to support the administration of these criminal history background checks and associated record-keeping and reporting system functions.
