                       74th Regular Session

                        February 22, 1995



 TO:     Honorable Clyde Alexander, Chair       IN RE:  House Bill No. 247
         Committee on Transportation                    By: Gutierrez
         House of Representatives
         Austin, Texas






FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
247 (Relating to armed forces license plates.) 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 two sets of
license plates instead of the current one set for various armed
forces license plates.

The probable fiscal implication of implementing the provisions of
the bill during each of the first  five years following passage
is estimated as follows:

        1999                92,087             18,555            300,545            148,074              .0

        2000                92,087             18,555            300,545            148,074              .0



       Similar annual fiscal implications would continue as long as the
provisions of the bill are in effect.
