FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
823 (relating to the amount a hotel or motel may charge for a
telephone call) this office has determined the following:

The bill would amend the Public Utility Regulatory Act by raising
the amount that a hotel or motel may charge for telephone calls
for which assistance from the hotel or motel is not required from
$0.50 to $1.00.


The fiscal implication to the State or units of local government
cannot be determined at this time.  Upon receipt of additional
information, the fiscal note will be revised accordingly.
