LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE 74th Regular Session April 4, 1995 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. Source: Workers' Compensation Commission, Department of Insurance LBB Staff: JK, RM, RR
