FISCAL NOTE
74th Regular Session
April 23, 1995
TO: Honorable Keith Oakley, Chair IN RE: Committee Substitute
Committee on Public Safety for
House of Representatives Senate Bill
Austin, Texas No. 42
FROM: John Keel, Director
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on Senate Bill No.
42 (relating to access to criminal history record information by
certain organizations providing volunteer services) 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 broadens the definition of a volunteer center.
Volunteer centers throughout the state would be granted access to
criminal history information at the Department of Public Safety.
The department would be authorized to charge volunteer centers a
fee sufficient to cover costs.
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 Cost Out Probable Revenue
Year of General Gain to General
Revenue Fund 001 Revenue Fund 001
1996 $50,478 $50,478
1997 42,813 42,813
1998 42,813 42,813
1999 42,813 42,813
2000 42,813 42,813
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.
