Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                    STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                           RS11517

The purpose of this legislation is to repeal the requirements for 
Environmental Health Specialists to be licensed and registered with 
the Bureau of Occupational Licenses. Licensure and registration with 
the National Environmental Health Association may be required as a 
minimum qualification of employment by the Division of Human 
Resources for Environmental Health Specialists.


                      FISCAL IMPACT

The fiscal impact will be to reduce the bureau of Occupational 
License budget by less than one percent due to loss of licensure 
fees from 121 licensed Environmental Health Specialists.
