TO:	Honorable Lois W. Kolkhorst, Chair, Senate Committee on Health & Human Services
FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB577 by Springer (relating to regulation of food service establishments, retail food stores, mobile food units, roadside food vendors, temporary food service establishments, and food managers.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

The bill would require the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) to establish and maintain a registry on the agency's website of municipal ordinances required to be submitted by a county or a public health district for inclusion in the registry. The agency would require one-time application and system modifications to the Regulatory Automation System and auxiliary technology services. It is assumed that any costs associated with the bill could be absorbed using existing resources.

Local Government Impact

Local governments and health jurisdictions may experience a negative impact due to increased responsibilities and prohibition of certain fees. The fiscal implications of the bill cannot be determined at this time.
