 TO:     Honorable Rene O. Oliveira, Chair      IN RE:  House Bill No. 1323
         Committee on Economic Development              By: Romo
         House of Representatives
         Austin, Texas






FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
1323 (relating to the employment of children; providing a
criminal penalty) this office has determined the following:

The bill would amend Sections 51.014 and 51.031 of the Labor Code
by adding the selling of items or services or the soliciting of
donations one-half hour after sunset to one-half hour before
sunrise to those occupations declared hazardous for children
under 14 years of age.   The hazardous declaration would not
apply if the solicitation was done on behalf of an exempt
organization as defined in the bill or if the child was
accompanied by a parent, conservator, guardian or other person
who has court ordered possession of the child.


No fiscal implication to the State or units of local government
is anticipated.
