California licensees would see how state assessments are calculated
California deferred deposit licensees would receive assessment notices showing the figures the commissioner used to calculate each licensee’s share of program costs.
1
What it does
Each assessment notice must show the calculation behind the amount due, with separate lines for costs, any deficit, overall and individual transaction amounts, and the licensee’s locations.
Argument forLicensees could better understand how their assessments were calculated because each notice must show the costs, deficits, and transaction figures used.
Argument againstListing each cost and transaction figure could make assessments easier to check, but preparing and reviewing the added detail may take staff time for the state and licensees.
More detail
The commissioner must show how each licensee’s share of costs was calculated on its invoice or assessment notice. The requirement applies to notices sent to licensees under the California Deferred Deposit Transaction Law. The requirement applies when the commissioner issues an invoice or assessment notice under this section.
