TO:	Honorable Stephanie Klick, Chair, House Committee on Public Health
FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB1439 by Campbell (Relating to required written notice to a physician, intern, or resident of an educational institution before directly or indirectly performing or participating in an elective abortion.), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require an educational institution to provide a physician, intern, or resident of the institution with a written notice detailing the procedures for opting not to perform or participate in an elective abortion procedure for moral or religious objections before the physician, intern, or resident directly or indirectly performs or participates in an elective abortion procedure.

It is assumed any cost to implement provisions of the bill would be minimal and could be absorbed within available resources.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
