FISCAL NOTE
74th Regular Session
May 16, 1995
TO: Honorable Senator John T. Montford, IN RE: House BillNo. 1341,
Chair as amended
Committee on Finance By: Stiles
Senate
Austin, Texas
FROM: John Keel, Director
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
1341 (Relating to the operation and funding of the Work and
Family Policies Clearinghouse.) 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 would authorize a local registrar who issues a certified
copy of a birth certificate to charge an additional fee of $2.00
per certificate, as currently charged by the Bureau of Vital
Statistics. A local registrar or county clerk who collects this
fee would be required to remit $1.80 to the Comptroller for
deposit into the Work and Family Policies Fund.
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 Probable Revenue Probable Revenue
Year of GR Gain to GR Gain to Units of
Consolidated - Consolidated - Local Government
