Revenue generation in subsequent years would also be estimated at no more than five-hundred dollars ($500) by each event in subsequent years. Through exposure to such mentored events, it is the department’s hope to create long-term or lifelong customers.

"Major economic impact" means an overall negative or adverse economic impact from an administrative regulation of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) or more on state or local government or regulated entities, in aggregate, as determined by the promulgating administrative bodies.
