Fiscal Analysis

The bill would require the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) to create two forms for the rescission of an acknowledgement of paternity and the rescission of a denial of paternity. 

Methodology

It is assumed that the creation of the two forms for the rescission of acknowledgement or denial of paternity can be absorbed within existing resources at DSHS.     DSHS estimates there will be about 2,000 certified copies of rescissions during each fiscal year. DSHS will charge $20 for a certified copy of the rescission. It is estimated that there will be a revenue gain of $40,000 in the Vital Statistics Account in fiscal year 2010 and beyond.
