Zika/ Montana Dairy Fees/ Privatizing Air Traffic Control

  
Missoulian:  Proposed fees for Montana dairy producers might be more than smaller ones can bear
Notice of Proposed Amendment - Department Fees.
“The Brands Enforcement Division proposes to increase fees to assure fees are commensurate with costs of services as required by 81-1-102(2), MCA. The proposed $150 fee increase on dealer and agent license fees would potentially affect 300 dealers and agents for a cumulative increase of approximately $45,000. The market license fee increase would affect 13 markets for additional revenue of $3,900.  An increase in lifetime horse inspections, implementing a $250 charge for lifetime inspections books provided to approximately 20 qualified deputy local inspectors and implementation a $10 per hundred head of cattle grazing permit would potentially affect approximately 15,000 producers seeking livestock services on approximately 952,000 head of livestock for a cumulative fee of $95,200. The proposed increase will total approximately $144,100 annually, based on these numbers. The dealer and agent fee has not been increased for over ten years; market license fees have not been raised since their inception and in the past the department supplied lifetime horse inspection books free of charge.”
