FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Illinois Commerce Commission) To fully staff program start-up ICC will need to hire 9 new staff 3-6 months prior to the implementation date (January 1, 2003); costs for start-up in FY03 are estimated at $527,080. To handle the initial influx of consumer participation in the program and to ramp up to a total of 11 staff, ICC estimates FY 04 costs to be $1.3 million. In FY 05 and beyond, ICC estimates an annualized cost of $1 million with a total of 11 staff. The funding provided for in the bill through both consumer fees of up to $5 and telemarketer fees of up to $1,000 will likely cover the agency's costs.
