Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB706 by Garcia (Relating to classification of a liquid substance used to fill an electronic cigarette as a hazardous substance.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Chapter 501 of the Health and Safety Code to classify a liquid substance used to fill an electronic cigarette as a hazardous substance. The Department of State Health Services indicates that rulemaking, inspection, and enforcement activities required to implement the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within the agency's existing resources. This analysis assumes there would not be a significant increase in the number of entities required to register and pay registration fees as a result of the implementation of the bill.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
