FINAL BILL REPORT

SB 5329

                              C 170 L 89

BYSenators Lee, Warnke, Matson and Smitherman; by request of Department of Licensing

Establishing a master license delinquency fee.

Senate Committee on Economic Development & Labor

House Committe on Commerce & Labor

SYNOPSIS AS ENACTED

BACKGROUND:

Delinquency fees for late master license applicants are currently determined by formula set forth in statute.  No maximum delinquency fee is set forth.  An applicant with a large master license renewal fee has the potential to pay more in penalty than an applicant with a minimal renewal fee, even though both are late to the same degree.  The Department of Licensing feels that this is inequitable.

SUMMARY:

A maximum delinquency fee of $150 is established.
