                           FISCAL NOTE
                       74th Regular Session

                          April 28, 1995



 TO:     Honorable Keith Oakley, Chair          IN RE: Committee Substitute
         Committee on Public Safety             for
         House of Representatives                              House Bill
         Austin, Texas                          No. 1448










FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
1448 (relating to the regulation of certain security officers and
personal protection officers) 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 amend the Private Investigators and Private
Security Agencies Act by adding personal protection officers and
personal protection authorizations.

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 Out      Change in    
             Year   Gain to   General      of  General      Number of State 
                     Revenue Fund 001    Revenue Fund 001    Employees from 
                                                                FY 1995     
                                                                            
          1996                 $50,000             $19,369               1.0
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            

        1997                    50,000               19,369                1.0

        1998                    50,000               19,369                1.0
        1999                    50,000               19,369                1.0

        2000                    50,000               19,369                1.0



       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.
