         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on HB2510 ( Relating 
to the regulation of certain personal care facilities.) this 
office has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB2510-As Introduced
         
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. 

         
The bill would make no appropriation but could provide the legal 
basis for an appropriation of funds to implement the provisions 
of the bill.

The bill states that the Board of Health shall 
adopt rules required to implement the provisions of the bill. 
 The Department of Health estimates that there will be no fiscal 
impact to the Department of Health as personal care facilities 
are regulated by the Department of Human Services.  The Department 
of Human Services states that insufficient data are available 
to project the number of complaints that will be received as 
a result of the minimum standards described in the bill.
         
 
          
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
