FISCAL NOTE, 80TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 2, 2007

TO:	Honorable Kevin Bailey, Chair, House Committee on Urban Affairs
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB3672 by Bohac (Relating to mobile food units in certain populous counties; providing a penalty.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code as it relates to mobile food units in certain populous counties and provides penalties.

According to the Department of State Health Services (DSHS), the department does not enforce Chapter 437 of the Health and Safety Code in a county with a population of more than 2.8 million so the provisions of the bill would not have a fiscal impact on DSHS.

The bill would take effect September 1, 2007.

Local Government Impact

Based on the 2000 U.S. census, only Harris County has a population of more than 2.8 million. Because the bill would not have statewide impact on units of local government of the same type or class, no comment from this office is required by the rules of the House/Senate as to its probable fiscal implication on units of local government.
