FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
Revision 1
 
May 21, 2021

TO:
Honorable Charles Perry, Chair, Senate Committee on Water, Agriculture & Rural Affairs
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB928 by Sherman, Sr. (Relating to the marketing and sale of catfish and similar fish by food service establishments; providing administrative and civil penalties.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would authorize administrative and civil penalties against food service establishments that misrepresent a product as catfish. It is assumed that the costs of implementing the bill could be absorbed using existing resources and would likely be offset by revenue increases due to collections of administrative and civil penalties.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. Any costs associated with implementing the bill would likely be offset by revenue increases due to collections of administrative and civil penalties.
