Fiscal Note Summary

Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.

    It is anticipated that the fees received will not cover the expenses incurred. The benefits to be gained by the public and the State from implementing a program to ensure human and animal health and safety as well as protect the agricultural economy of the State greatly exceed the anticipated costs to be incurred.
    
    NOTE: This is a shared responsibility between the Department of Agriculture, the Division of Natural Resources and the Bureau for Public Health.
