FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 23, 2021

TO:
Honorable Nicole Collier, Chair, House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB3926 by Hefner (Relating to the inclusion of temporary vehicle tags in the offense of tampering with a governmental record.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend various codes as they relate to tampering with a governmental record and automatic driver's license revocation.  Under the provisions of the bill, the definition of governmental record  would be expanded to include a temporary tag, and a conviction for the offense of tampering with a governmental record when the record was a temporary tag would result in an automatic driver's license revocation.

The Office of Court Administration and the Department of Public Safety indicate the modifications outlined in the bill's provisions would not result in a significant fiscal impact.  The Comptroller of Public Accounts indicates the fiscal impact on the State cannot be estimated. This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill addressing felony sanctions would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources. 

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
