FISCAL NOTE
74th Regular Session
May 8, 1995
TO: Honorable Keith Oakley, Chair IN RE: Senate BillNo. 118,
Committee on Public Safety as engrossed
House of Representatives By: Harris
Austin, Texas
FROM: John Keel, Director
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on Senate Bill No.
118 (relating to a municipality's access to criminal history
record information about applicants for employment) 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 authorize the Department of Public Safety to
provide criminal history information to municipalities regarding
applicants for employment by the municipality.
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 from General Number of State
Revenue Fund 001 Revenue Fund 001 Employees from
FY 1995
1996 $126,806 $550,000 4.0
1997 115,646 550,000 4.0
1998 115,646 550,000 4.0
1999 115,646 550,000 4.0
2000 115,646 550,000 4.0
Similar annual fiscal implications would continue as long as the
provisions of the bill are in effect.
As estimated, the fiscal implications to units of local
government would be the same as revenue indicated above.
