FISCAL NOTE
Senate Bill 105
Committee: Ways and Means General FundSponsor: Senator Linda Coleman-Madison
Analyst: Tiffany Weaver Date: 05/30/2023
Senate Bill 105 as passed the Senate would codify the existing practices of the State Health
Officer, the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) and the Alabama Department of
Environmental Management (ADEM) regarding statewide fish consumption advisories and fish
tissue monitoring. This bill would further require ADEM to post signage at public boat ramps
adjacent to state waters when there is an active fish consumption advisory, which would
increase obligations of ADEM by an estimated $115,000 to replace signage in accordance with
the provisions of this bill.
In addition, this bill would also increase the administrative obligations of the Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources to notify fishing licensees that purchase their licenses
electronically about active fish consumption advisories.
