 TO:     Honorable Kim Brimer, Chair            IN RE:  House Bill No. 2122
         Committee on Business & Industry               By: Brimer
         House of Representatives
         Austin, Texas






FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
2122 (relating to deductibles for workers' compensation
insurance) this office has determined the following:

The bill would amend the Insurance Code to allow, rather than
require, insurers to offer optional deductible plans for workers'
compensation policies.  Currently, insurers are required to offer
optional deductible plans that allow policyholders to self-insure
for the deductible amount.


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