                       74th Regular Session

                          April 25, 1995



 TO:     Honorable Kenny Marchant, Chair        IN RE:  House BillNo. 3007,
         Committee on Financial Institutions                   as amended
         House of Representatives                       By: Giddings
         Austin, Texas








FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
3007 (relating to lending services provided by a bank to small
businesses in its local area) 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  require that  25% of loans made by a bank to be
for small businesses in its local area as defined by HB 3006. 
The bill would also require the Department of Banking to hold a
hearing to determine whether the bank is violating this section,
if so, the Department shall order the bank ineligible to act as a
state depository.  The bill does not provide for recovery of
hearing expenses.

The probable fiscal implication of implementing the provisions of
the bill during each of the first  five years following passage
is estimated as follows:

       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.
