FISCAL NOTE, 84TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
May 18, 2015

TO:
Honorable Kevin Eltife, Chair, Senate Committee on Business & Commerce
 
FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB2391 by Bohac (Relating to the redemption of certain stored value cards, including gift cards, for cash.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require a seller, at the consumer's request, to refund the balance of certain stored value cards in cash, if that stored value card was redeemed in person to make a purchase and has a balance of less than $2.50 remaining following the redemption. Based on the analysis of the Comptroller of Public Accounts, implementation of the provisions of the bill is not anticipated to have a significant fiscal impact.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
