Fiscal Detail and Notes
	To date, there is no evidence that the use of automated sales suppression devices has had a significant impact on current state tax revenues.  The current baseline revenue forecast does not assume any significant change in future non-compliance.  The provisions of this bill would create increased confidence in the baseline revenue forecast by reducing a potential source of non-compliance, but would not change the forecast levels of revenue.
