FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
March 29, 2021

TO:
Honorable Donna Campbell, Chair, Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs & Border Security
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
SB886 by Blanco (Relating to the provision of citizenship assistance to veterans by the Texas Veterans Commission.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Government Code to require the Texas Veterans Commission to provide citizenship assistance by evaluating a veteran's citizenship status, upon request, and educating the veteran on becoming a United States citizen and assist in facilitating the naturalization process. 

This analysis assumes there would be a minimal cost associated with implementing the provisions of the bill that could be absorbed within current resources. 

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
