April 18, 2013

TO:	Honorable Jane Nelson, Chair, Senate Committee on Health & Human Services
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB1198 by Taylor (Relating to requirements for physicians who perform abortions; creating an offense.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Local Government Impact

The bill would create a fine-only Class A misdemeanor offense punishable by a fine not to exceed $4,000. Costs associated with enforcement, prosecution, and confinement could likely be absorbed with existing resources. Revenue from fines imposed and collected is not anticipated to have a significant fiscal impact.
