                       74th Regular Session

                          March 22, 1995



 TO:     Honorable Ron Wilson, Chair            IN RE:  House Bill No. 1065
         Committee on Licensing &                       By: Brimer
         Administrative Procedures
         House of Representatives
         Austin, Texas







FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
1065 (Relating to the practice of property tax consulting.) this
office has determined the following:

The bill would amend current statutory provisions which relate to
the registration of property tax consultants by exempting certain
individuals from the requirement.  It is estimated that
approximately 500 individuals would not renew the biennial
registration.  The agency would raise individual fees from $150
to $250 to generate sufficient revenue to cover expenses
associated with administering the statute.

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   Gain/(Loss) from  
                     General Revenue  
                         Fund 001     
                                      
          1996               ($25,000)
                                      
          1997                  30,000
          1998                (25,000)
                                      
                                      
                                      

        1999                    30,000

        2000                  (25,000)



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

No fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.
