Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



                      STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                            RS 15813

This legislation will establish a Breast Cancer Education and
Screening special license plate.  Funds raised from the sale of
the plate will be used for breast cancer education and screening
of women who lack insurance coverage or funds to pay for services
related to breast cancer education and screening.*



                          FISCAL IMPACT

This bill has no fiscal impact on the general fund.  Fees for the
special plates cover all costs and are entirely voluntary on the
part of the purchasers.  There may be some savings to local
government indigency funds and Medicaid due to the education and
screening provided for low-income women.*
