Committee: Health and Human Services
Fiscal Note Required: Yes
             
Fiscal Note
Minor savings - General Fund
Minor revenue decrease - General Fund
Fiscal Detail and Notes
Repealing the law that provided employment leave for caregivers and persons affected by extreme public health emergencies may result in General Fund savings to the Bureau of Labor Standards within the Department of Labor due to the Bureau no longer having to investigate complaints of violations.  Repealing the penalties assessed for violations of the law may result in a decrease in General Fund revenue.  Neither the amount of savings to the Bureau nor the amount of revenue lost is expected to be significant.
Additional costs to the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services associated with rulemaking can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
