AN ACT CONCERNING CONNECTICUT'S EGG STATUTES.

Agency Affected	Fund-Effect	FY 14 $	FY 15 $
Department of Agriculture	GF - Potential Revenue Gain	1,200	1,200
Consumer Protection, Dept.	GF - Potential Revenue Gain	12,000	12,000

Municipal Impact: None

Explanation

The bill requires egg-grading plants and egg distributors to register with the departments of Agriculture and Consumer Protection. As it is anticipated that the firms that would register would be processing more than 150,000 dozen eggs annually, the fee for registration with both agencies would be $400 per firm (based on the tiered system of registration fees).

Three egg-grading firms are anticipated to register with the Department of Agriculture at an annual fee of $400 each, generating approximately $1,200 in revenue.

There are 30 egg distributors anticipated to register with the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP), also at an annual fee of $400 each, generating approximately $12,000 in annual revenue.

The Out Years

The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would continue into the future subject to the number of egg-grading firms and egg distributors that register with the state.
