ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Health and Senior Services (DOH) stated this legislation would not be expected to significantly impact the operations of the DOH. If the proposal were to substantially impact the DOH programs, then the DOH would request funding through the legislative process.
For similar legislation proposed this session, DOH officials assumed there would be insignificant cost savings associated with the proposal because the DOH inspects very few food sales by religious, charitable or non-profit organizations.
