Fiscal Estimate

None of the changes in the Wisconsin Food Code will appreciably, if at all, have a fiscal effect on local government or the private sector. The only costs the Department will incur in implementing this rule will be that of copying and distributing the revised Wisconsin Food Code to affected parties. The Department can absorb this cost in its current budget.
