                       74th Regular Session

                          April 5, 1995



 TO:     Honorable John T. Montford, Chair      IN RE:  Senate Bill No. 536
         Committee on Finance                           By: Rosson
         Senate
         Austin, Texas






FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on Senate Bill No.
536 (Relating to providing certain entities relief from the local
share requirement of a program providing state or federal
matching funds.) 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 a state agency, to the extent allowed by
federal law and the state constitution, to provide relief to an
entity from the local share requirement of a program offering
state or federal matching funds if the entity applies for relief
and the agency determines that the applicant qualifies for
hardship status.

Fiscal implications would be dependent upon the extent to which
local entities seek relief and cannot be determined.


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