                       74th Regular Session

                        February 28, 1995



 TO:     Honorable Ken Armbrister, Chair        IN RE: Committee Substitute
         Committee on State Affairs                            for Senate
         Senate                                 Bill No. 200
         Austin, Texas









FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on Senate Bill No.
200 (Relating to the alternative fuels program.) this office has
determined the following:

The bill would add a definition for alternative fuels that would
replace and expand the current statutory references that limit
conversion options to "compressed natural gas or other
alternative fuel."

The bill would reduce the conversion schedule required of local
government and private entities to convert fleet vehicles to
operate on alternative fuels.

The bill would modify the definition of a fleet vehicle to
exclude a vehicle normally garaged at a personal  residence or a
vehicle with a GVWR of greater than 26,000 pounds.

As a result of these changes, there could be some savings to the
state and to local units of government.


The savings  to  the State or units of local government cannot be
determined.
