ADVISORY OPINION TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

RE: PHYSICIAN SHALL CHARGE THE SAME FEE FOR THE SAME HEALTH CARE SERVICE TO EVERY PATIENT ___________________________________________________________________ The Attorney General has asked the Court for an advisory opinion as to whether the financial impact statement prepared by the Financial Impact Estimating Conference on the constitutional amendment, proposed by initiative petition, entitled "Physician Shall Charge the Same Fee for the Same Health Care Service to Every Patient" is in accordance with section 100.371, Florida Statutes. The Court finds no basis for rejecting the financial impact statement under section 100.371(6), Florida Statutes, as amended by chapter 2004-33, section 3, Laws of Florida. The financial impact statement may be placed on the ballot, but the Court expresses no opinion on the merits of the financial impact statement. No motion for rehearing will be allowed. PARIENTE, C.J., and WELLS, ANSTEAD, LEWIS, QUINCE, CANTERO and BELL, JJ., concur.
