IN RE:
HB1376 by Kolkhorst (Relating to advertising by certain facilities that provide emergency services; providing an administrative penalty.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Section 241 of the Health and Safety Code by adding Subchapter H, related to advertising by certain facilities that provide emergency services. DSHS indicates that costs associated with promulgation of rules as a result of implementation of the bill would be absorbed by the agency. The agency also indicates that, given the small number of facilities in the category identified in the bill, it is not anticipated that revenues from potential administrative penalties would be significant.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
