The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code to expand the Funeral Service Commission's (FSC) enforcement responsibilities. The bill would require the FSC to adopt rules to implement the provisions of the bill.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2009.
Based on the analysis provided by FSC, the bill would require 1 new FTE, legal assistant, to review additional complaints regarding the validity of agreements between landowners and the public regarding ingress and egress from cemetaries. The FTE would cost $46,000 for salary and wages with associated benefits cost of $13,142 in each fiscal year of 2010-11. Additional one time costs in fiscal year 2010 would be $6,000. This analysis assumes that any increased costs resulting from the implementation of the provisions of this bill would be offset with fee-generated general revenue.
Based on the analysis provided by the Department of Banking, this bill would have no fiscal impact on the agency.
