TO:
Honorable Dade Phelan, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB2323 by Hayes (Relating to the issuance of specialty license plates commemorating the 100th anniversary of the writing of the state song.), As Passed 2nd House

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend Transportation Code, Chapter 504, Subchapter G, to require the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) to issue "Texas, Our Texas" specialty license plates. The fee for the specialty plate, after deduction of TxDMV's administrative costs, would be deposited to the General Revenue Fund. The bill would take effect on January 1, 2024.

Based on the information provided by TxDMV, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within the department's existing resources. Based on the analysis provided by TxDMV and the Comptroller's office, it is assumed issuance of the new specialty plate would not result in a significant impact to state revenues.

Local Government Impact

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