REVENUE IMPACT1/
This bill is not expected to impact general fund revenues in FY2001-02 or FY2002-03. This bill is expected to reduce funds directed to the Department of Health and Human Services by $7,900,000 in FY2001-02 and by $26,100,000 in FY2002-03.
Explanation
This bill would repeal H.B. 4498 (R 176) which imposed, effective February 1, 2002, a $3 per patient day franchise fee on nursing homes licensed by the Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). R 176 raised this nursing home franchise fee to $4 per patient day effective July 1, 2002. Fees were to be collected by the Department of Revenue (DOR), remitted to the State Treasurer, and credited to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). In a fiscal impact dated January 23, 2002, the BEA estimated that R 176 would generate an estimated $7.9 million in nursing home franchise fees in FY2001-02 and an estimated $26.1 million in FY2002-03. Therefore, the BEA estimates that repeal of R 176 would reduce other fund revenue collected by DOR, remitted to the State Treasurer, and credited to DHHS by an estimated $7,900,000 in FY2001-02 and by an estimated $26,100,000 in FY2002-03.
