                          FISCAL NOTE

                     74th Regular Session


                       February 7, 1995



         TO:    Honorable Rodney Ellis, Chair IN RE:  Senate Bill No. 42
      Committee on Intergovernmental                  By:  Shapiro
      Relations
      Senate
      Austin, Texas







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 would allow volunteer centers throughout the state to
have access to criminal history information at the Department of
Public Safety.  The bill broadens the definition of a volunteer
center. 

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      Change in   
            Year      of  General      Gain to  General   Number of State

                                                              FY 1995    
                                                                         
          1996                $50,478            $44,950              2.0
          1997                 42,813             44,950              2.0
                                                                         
          1998                 42,813             44,950              2.0
                                                                         
          1999                 42,813             44,950              2.0
          2000                 42,813             44,950              2.0
                                                                         
                                                                         
                                                                         


       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.
