Fiscal Analysis

The bill would require the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) by December 1, 2007 to revise informational materials related to abortion and to make available these materials for distribution.

Methodology

DSHS estimates a one-time cost of $82,264 in General Revenue in fiscal year 2008 to print and distribute revised informational materials. DSHS indicates an annual fee on abortion facilities would be collected to offset the cost. 

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
