                           FISCAL NOTE
                       74th Regular Session

                          April 11, 1995



 TO:     Honorable Warren Chisum, Chair         IN RE:  House Bill No. 2142
         Committee on Environmental Regulation          By: Horn
         House of Representatives
         Austin, Texas






FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
2142 (Relating to the possession, use, manufacture, installation,
transportation or sale of chlorofluorocarbons.) this office has
determined the following:

The regulation of chlorofluorocarbons is currently under the
purview of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency.  The bill
would conflict with both U. S. and international laws currently
governing the manufacture and use of chlorofluorocarbons.  There
would be no fiscal implications because the State does not have
any regulatory responsibilities related to the manufacture and
use of chlorofluorocarbons.

Some units of local government do regulate chlorofluorocarbons. 
The bill would prevent them from doing so.  However, the
subsequent fiscal implications cannot be determined.


No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The fiscal implication to  units of local government cannot be
determined.
