 TO:     Honorable Robert Junell, Chair         IN RE:  House Bill No. 3050

FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
3050 (Relating to exemption of certain funds from consolidation,
re-creation of certain consolidated funds, preservation of
certain dedications of revenue, and exemption of certain
unappropriated amounts from use for general governmental
purposes.) this office has determined the following:

The bill would exempt the certain funds and revenue sources from
fund consolidation.

The following accounts would be re-created as special funds.
    
a)  the Compensation of Victims of Crime Fund Account 469  
b)  the Compensation of Victims of Crime Auxiliary Fund Account
494
c)  the Public Transportation Fund Account 451
d)  the Traffic Safety Fund Account 029
e)  the  Texas Highway Beautification Fund Account 071
f)  the Aviation Trust Fund Account 525
g)  the  Sexual Assault Program Fund
h)  the Children's Trust Fund of Texas Council Operating Fund
Account 541

The following revenue sources would be rededicated to funds
outside the General Revenue Fund:

a)  statutory revenue deposited to the State Highway Fund 006
b)  marriage license fees to the Children's Trust Fund 987    




The bill would reduce the amount of revenue available for 
certification from the General Revenue Fund by $89.4 million in
fiscal years 1995-97.




















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 Reduction
             Year     in the Amount   
                      Available for   
                    Certification from
                       the General    
                     Revenue Fund 001 
                                      
          1995             $18,132,000
          1996              35,220,000
                                      
          1997              36,064,000
                                      
          1998              36,951,000
          1999              37,883,000
                                      
          2000              38,861,000
                                      
                                      
                                      
       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.
