In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on HB1875 ( Relating
to the imposition and use of certain fees imposed on certain
milk and milk products.) this office has detemined the following:
Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB1875-As Introduced
Implementing the provisions of the bill would result in a net
positive impact of $840,000 to General Revenue Related Funds
through the biennium ending August 31, 1999.
The bill would make no appropriation but could provide the legal
basis for an appropriation of funds to implement the provisions
of the bill.
Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend Section 435.009 of the Health and Safety
Code to increase the fee on each 100 pounds of milk and milk
products from 1 cent to 2 cents. The revenue from this fee
increase would be deposited to the General Revenue Fund. The
revenue would be dedicated to milk inspection.
Methodolgy
It is estimated that an average of 4.2 billion pounds of milk
and milk products are subject to the milk fee. Applying the
fee increase would yield a revenue gain of approximately $420,000
per year.
The probable fiscal implications of implementing the provisions
of the bill during each of the first five years following passage
is estimated as follows:
Five Year Impact:
