                       74th Regular Session

                          April 13, 1995



 TO:     Honorable Kim Brimer, Chair            IN RE: Committee Substitute
         Committee on Business & Industry       for
         House of Representatives                              House Bill
         Austin, Texas                          No. 1425










FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
1425 (relating to business organizations) 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 make numerous amendments to the Texas Business
Corporation Act, Texas Non-Profit Corporation Act, Texas
Miscellaneous Corporation Laws Act, Texas Limited Liability
Company Act, Texas Revised Limited Partnership Act, and the Texas
Revised Partnership Act.

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   Probable Cost      Change in   
           Year       Loss  from          Out of      Number of State
                   General  Revenue  General Revenue   Employees from
                      Fund  001          Fund 001         FY 1994    
                                                                     
                                                                     
                                                                     

        1995                        $0              $88,480                 .0

        1996                   908,000              179,398                5.0
        1997                   959,000              132,996                5.0

        1998                 1,002,000              132,996                5.0

        1999                 1,073,000              132,996                5.0
        2000                 1,145,000              132,996                5.0



        
       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.
