No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code to prohibit disciplinary action for failure to submit a death certificate in a timely manner in the event that a good faith effort was made and the failure is a result of circumstances beyond the control of the individual required to file the death certificate. The Department of State Health Services indicates the bill would have no fiscal impact.
Local Government Impact
