FISCAL NOTE
74th Regular Session
March 7, 1995
TO: Honorable Kim Brimer, Chair IN RE: House Bill No. 1313
Committee on Business & Industry By: Uher
House of Representatives
Austin, Texas
FROM: John Keel, Director
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
1313 (relating to the Texas Seafood-Linked Industries Research,
Educational, and Consumer Safety Program; making an
appropriation) this office has determined the following:
The bill would appropriate $450,000 from the General Revenue Fund
for the biennium beginning September 1, 1995 and would provide
the legal basis for future appropriation of funds to implement
the provisions of the bill.
The bill would establish the Texas Seafood-Linked Industries
Research, Educational and Consumer Safety Program at the Texas
A&M University Sea Grant Program. The bill would establish an
advisory committee appointed by the Governor and including a
representative from the Texas Agricultural Extension Service and
the Texas Department of Health. The bill would exempt this
committee from Article 6252-33, Revised Statutes.
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 General
Revenue
Fund 001
1996 $225,000
1997 225,000
1998 225,000
1999 225,000
2000 225,000
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.
