                           FISCAL NOTE
                       74th Regular Session

                          March 21, 1995



 TO:     Honorable Clyde Alexander, Chair       IN RE:  House Bill No. 1225
         Committee on Transportation                    By: Carona
         House of Representatives
         Austin, Texas







FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
1225 (Relating to the display of evidence of registration and
inspection on former military vehicles.) 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 provides for the registration of some former military
vehicles and would require the Department of Transportation, to
the extent practical, allow the use of the unique identification
mark assigned that vehicle by the armed force in which the
vehicle was used. If such a mark is not used, the department
would designate a registration mark consisting of at least four
and not more than ten numbers, letters, or numbers and letters in
combination, at least two inches in height.

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 
             Year   of  State Highway 
                         Fund 006     
                                      
          1996                $228,646
                                      
                                      
                                      

        1997                     3,867

        1998                     4,218
        1999                     4,570

        2000                     4,921



       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.
