ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Office of State Courts Administrator assume the proposed legislation will not fiscally impact their organization.
Officials from the Department of Health and Senior Services (DOH) stated there is a significant difference between the eighteen-year olds who are adopted having a desire to get a birth record and the people over 50. The DOH believes that by the time an individual reaches the age of 50, they have either already found that information out, or no longer have the desire to do so. Therefore, the DOH does not estimate a significant number for this legislation and assumes no fiscal impact.
