Although the bill does not set a fee rate for the health certificates, the TAHC proposes increasing the fee from $0.25 to $4.00 per health certificate. Based on this rate and assuming 4,400 books containing 25 health certificates each (110,000 certificates) are issued each fiscal year at $100 per book, the agency anticipates collecting a total of $440,000 a fiscal year.
The agency estimates the production, distribution, and collection expenses associated with the health certificates to be $51,980 per fiscal year.
