LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD
Austin, Texas
FISCAL NOTE
74th Regular Session
April 27, 1995
TO: Honorable Ken Armbrister, Chair IN RE: House Bill No. 247,
Committee on State Affairs as engrossed
Senate By: Gutierrez
Austin, Texas
FROM: John Keel, Director
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
247 (Relating to various types of armed forces license plates
that may be issued to a person.) this office has determined the
following:
The bill would make no appropriation but could provide the legal
basis for an appropriation of funds to implement the provisions
of the bill.
The bill would allow a qualified person to be issued one or more
sets of license plates, instead of the current one set, for
various armed forces license plates. The fee for any additional
sets, excluding the initial set, would be $15 a year. The bill
would also limit, to one exemption, Purple Heart and Pearl Harbor
plates from the motor vehicle registration fee.
The probable fiscal implication of implementing the provisions of
the bill during each of the first five years following passage
is estimated as follows:
Fiscal Probable Cost Out Probable Revenue
Year of State Highway Gain to State
Fund 006 Highway Fund 006
1996 $61,791 $61,249
1997 29,991 61,249
1998 29,991 61,249
1999 29,991 61,249
2000 29,991 61,249
Similar annual fiscal implications would continue as long as the
provisions of the bill are in effect.
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.
