Fiscal note

From the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's note on H.B. 359, dated January 28, 2026. A fiscal note estimates direct costs and revenue; it is not an appropriation.

  • State revenue: New Account Created By Bill (FN Only) Enactment of this legislation could increase donation revenue to the Department of Commerce's newly created Preceptor Fund by $50,000 ongoing beginning in FY 2027 from donations during licensure.
  • State expenditures: New Account Created By Bill (FN Only) Enactment of this legislation could cost the Department of Commerce up to $2,300 ongoing beginning in FY 2027 and $5,000 one-time in FY 2026 from the Commerce Service Account for rulemaking and administering fund contributions, which the Department has indicated it can absorb.
  • Local government: Enactment of this legislation likely will not result in direct, measurable costs for local governments.
  • Individuals and businesses: Enactment of this legislation could cost licensed health care professionals in aggregate up to $50,000 ongoing beginning in FY 2027 for donations to the newly created Preceptor Fund.
