Fiscal Detail and Notes
There is no net Other Special Revenue Funds revenue to the Department of Agriculture, Food and Rural Resources.  The repeal of a certain surcharge assessed to kennels will result in the estimated loss of $10,000 in annual revenue in fiscal year 2006-07 and $10,800 in revenue for each year thereafter.  This revenue loss is offset by an estimated increase in dedicated revenue for that same time period from fees collected as a result of an expanded definition of what a breeding kennel is.
