The Honorable Les Mason, Chairperson
House Committee on Social Services Budget
300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 152-S
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Mason:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2330 by House Committee on Social Services Budget
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2330 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2330 would amend KSA 65-242 to increase the minimum for the distribution formula
for assistance to local health departments from $7,000 to $12,000 per year.
According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, enactment of HB 2330
would result in a redistribution of the budgetary share dedicated for assistance to local health
departments and has no fiscal effect on the state. The agency notes that the awards are based on a
population formula and most health departments receive the minimum award. Currently the
language of HB 2330 is included in both HB 2273 and SB 155 and taken into account for The FY
2024 Governor’s Budget Report.
The Kansas Association of Counties reports that HB 2330 would have a fiscal effect on
counties, particularly rural counties with lower populations that would receive more funding. The
Association estimates 65 counties currently receiving the minimum disbursement would see an
increase in funding of about $5,000 per county.


Sincerely,

Adam Proffitt
Director of the Budget
