Committee: Ways and Means General FundSponsor: Senator Linda Coleman-Madison

Senate Bill 105 as reported by the Committee on Ways and Means General would 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.
