FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Office of Attorney General (AGO)
impact. However, in response to a similar proposal (SB 963), the AGO assumed any potential
litigation costs arising from this proposal can be absorbed with existing resources. The AGO
stated they may seek additional appropriations if the proposal results in a significant increase in
litigation or investigation.
Oversight notes that the AGO stated the proposal would not have a direct fiscal impact on their
organization. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight
will reflect a zero impact on the fiscal note.
Oversight inquired of the AGO regarding the number of cases resolved in the past and the
amount collected in judgements. The money received for judgements goes to the Merchandising
Practices Revolving Fund (0631). This is the information they provided:
Year # of cases Judgements # of collections Collections
2014 17 $758,000 12 $260,500
2015 7 $1,109,000 4 $605,917
2016 6 $43,000 4 $18,000
2017 11 $805,433 6 $305,433
2018 1 $500,133 1 $135
2019 1 $85,000 1 $8,500
2020 0 $0 0 $0
2021 0 $0 0 $0
2022 0 $0 0 $0
2023 3 $244,753,640 2 $15,000
Oversight notes that the AGO stated the proposal would not have a direct fiscal impact on
their organization. Oversight assumes this proposal may increase the number of cases referred to
the AGO and could result in an increase in fine collections under this chapter. Oversight will
reflect a $0 or Unknown (assumed to be less than $250,000 in additional collections resulting
from these changes) positive fiscal impact to the Merchandising Practices Revolving Fund. L.R. No. 4644H.01I
