                           FISCAL NOTE
                       74th Regular Session

                        February 27, 1995



 TO:     Honorable Ken Armbrister, Chair        IN RE: Committee Substitute
         Committee on State Affairs                           for Senate
         Senate                                 Bill No. 460
         Austin, Texas








FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on Senate Bill No.
460 (Relating to license qualifications for certain inspectors
regulated by the Texas Real Estate Commission.) this office has
determined the following:

The bill would permit persons to become licensed as real estate
inspectors without being sponsored by a professional inspector or
first obtaining a license as an apprentice inspector.  The Real
Estate Commission would anticipate receiving approximately 300
new applications per year beginning in fiscal year 1996. 

The bill's provisions could result in a revenue gain of
approximately $20,000 per year to General Revenue-Consolidated.  
Additional workload could be absorbed within existing function
without significant additional cost.


No fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.
