IN RE:
HB2667 by Ritter (Relating to performance standards for plumbing fixtures sold in this state.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would increase efficiency standards for plumbing fixtures sold for use in the state. The efficiency standards would correspond with the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency’s WaterSense brand.
Any costs to the Commission on Environmental Quality in implementing the provisions of the bill are not expected to be significant. Likewise, any revenue increases resulting from plumbing fixture fees paid by manufacturers as a result of the need to list new fixture models is not expected to be significant.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
