John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB929 by Dutton (Relating to certain filing requirements for a death certificate.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the requirement for filing a death certificate with the local registrar from no later than 10 days after the date of death to no later than 10 days after the date the person required to file the death certificate obtains personal information and medical certification required by the Health and Safety Code. The Department of State Health Services estimates there is no direct fiscal impact to the agency; however, the Department reports that provisions of the bill may conflict with requirements of federal contracts and federal funding could be impacted if the bill were to be implemented.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
