                       74th Regular Session

                          April 17, 1995



 TO:     Honorable Keith Oakley, Chair          IN RE:  House Bill No. 405
         Committee on Public Safety                     By: Longoria, etal.
         House of Representatives
         Austin, Texas







FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
405 (relating to the exemption of certain peace officers from
provisions of the Private Investigators and Private Security
Agencies Act) this office has determined the following:

The bill would exempt all peace officers who work private
security from regulation.  Under current law, only full time
employed peace officers who work private security are exempt from
regulation.

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  Revenue 
             Year       Loss  to      
                     General  Revenue 
                        Fund  001     
                                      
          1996                 $61,225
                                      
          1997                  61,225
          1998                  61,225
                                      
          1999                  61,225
          2000                  61,225
                                      
                                      
                                      



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

The fiscal implication to units of local government cannot be
determined.
