FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION


March 9, 2021

TO:	Honorable Stephanie Klick, Chair, House Committee on Public Health

FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board

IN RE:	HB652 by Paul (Relating to notice of an epizootic infectious disease occurring in an animal shelter.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code to require certain notices of epizootic infectious disease occurring in an animal shelter.

According to the Department of State Health Services (DSHS), because the diseases of concern (e.g. parvovirus, canine distemper, and feline rhinotracheitis) are not transmissible to humans the bill would have no impact on the agency.

Local Government Impact

DSHS assumes there is no fiscal impact to local government entities.

El Paso County anticipates a fiscal impact from the bill in the form of an additional full-time position.
