         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
         In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on HB179 ( Relating to the
employment of a dentist by a nonprofit health organization that primarily
provides services to individuals who have AIDS or the human immunodeficiency
virus.) this office has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB179-As Introduced
         
             No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.  It
is likely that any additional activity associated with this bill for the State
Board of Dental Examiners could be absorbed within existing resources.
No significant additional revenue generation is likely as the Board does not
currently charge fees to certify charitable organizations to contract with or
employ dentists.
         
         
         
 
Similar annual fiscal implications would continue as long as the provisions of
the bill are in effect.
          
             No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
