Correctional and Judicial Impact Statements

The additional workload associated with the minimal number of new cases filed in the court system does not require additional funding at this time. The collection of additional filing fees will increase General Fund revenue by minor amounts.
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	The Department of Labor will incur costs to ensure compliance with the law governing employer surveillance.  However, because this legislation requires the department to enforce the provisions within existing resources utilizing strategic enforcement, no General Fund appropriations are included in the bill.  The ability of the department to address compliance issues associated with the law without impacting other programs and services can not be determined at this time.
