FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Commerce and Insurance assume the proposal will have no
fiscal impact on their organization. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary.
Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note.
Oversight notes the balance of the Board of Embalmers & Funeral Directors fund (0633)
balance at November 30, 2023 was $3,112.067.
Rule Promulgation
Officials from the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules assume this proposal is not
anticipated to cause a fiscal impact beyond its current appropriation.
Officials from the Office of the Secretary of State notes many bills considered by the General
Assembly include provisions allowing or requiring agencies to submit rules and regulations to
implement the act. The Secretary of State's office is provided with core funding to handle a
certain amount of normal activity resulting from each year's legislative session. The fiscal impact
for this fiscal note to Secretary of State's office for Administrative Rules is less than $5,000. The
Secretary of State's office recognizes that this is a small amount and does not expect that
additional funding would be required to meet these costs. However, they also recognize that
many such bills may be passed by the General Assembly in a given year and that collectively the
costs may be in excess of what our office can sustain with our core budget. Therefore, they
reserve the right to request funding for the cost of supporting administrative rules requirements
should the need arise based on a review of the finally approved bills signed by the governor.
