Explanation
The amendment strikes the underlying bill and its associated fiscal
impact. The amendment requires the Department of Public Health
(DPH), starting January 1, 2023, to maintain and operate a statewide
stroke registry. This is anticipated to result in additional costs to the
state of up to $222,363 in FY 23 and $253,280 in FY 24.
The additional costs to the state include personnel costs to DPH of
approximately $144,000 in FY 23 and $166,000 in FY 24 associated with
hiring one additional Nurse Consultant and one additional
Epidemiologist, as DPH does not currently have the staff available to
meet the additional requirements contained in the amendment. In

The fringe benefit costs for most state employees are budgeted centrally in accounts
administered by the Comptroller. The estimated active employee fringe benefit cost
associated with most personnel changes is 40.53% of payroll in FY 23. 2022HB-05273-R00LCO04527-FNA.DOCX Page 2 of 2
addition to personnel costs, corresponding fringe benefit costs of
$58,363 in FY 23 and $67,280 would be incurred.
In addition to personnel related costs, DPH would also require up to
$20,000 annually, in other expenses including: laptops, software, and
stroke data registry licensing and subscriptions.
The amendment establishes a stroke registry data oversight
committee, which does not result in a fiscal impact.
