FISCAL NOTE, 79TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

May 2, 2005

TO:	Honorable Dianne White Delisi, Chair, House Committee on Public Health
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1199 by Guillen (Relating to the presence of lead in confectionery.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

According to the Department of State Health Services (DSHS), the agency already has the authority to test candy and other foods for adulterants such as lead, and does so periodically, so there would be no additional fiscal impact on the agency. 

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
