TO: Honorable Ron Wilson, Chair IN RE: House Bill No. 1655
Committee on Licensing & By: Goolsby
Administrative Procedures
House of Representatives
Austin, Texas
FROM: John Keel, Director
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
1655 (Relating to the regulation of plastering contractors;
providing penalties.) 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 requires the Texas Department of Licensing and
Regulation to register plastering contractors and provides for
criminal and administrative penalties. It is estimated that
1,300 persons would be registered on an annual basis under the
provisions of the bill. Fees would be set to cover the cost of
administering the 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 Cost Out Probable Revenue Change in
Year of General Gain to General Number of State
Revenue Fund 001 Revenue Fund 001 Employees from
FY 1995
1996 $159,000 $162,000 4.0
1997 146,000 162,000 4.0
1998 146,000 162,000 4.0
1999 146,000 162,000 4.0
2000 146,000 162,000 4.0
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.
