                           FISCAL NOTE
                       74th Regular Session

                          April 5, 1995



 TO:     Honorable David Sibley, Chair          IN RE: Committee Substitute
         Committee on Economic Development      for
         Senate                                                Senate Bill
         Austin, Texas                          No. 921










FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on Senate Bill No.
921 (relating to the regulation of certain persons engaged in the
business of motor vehicle leasing) 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 for the licensing and regulation of
individuals engaged in the leasing of new motor vehicles. The
bill also designates a lessor license fee which varies based on
volume and a $375 lease facilitator fee, to be deposited to the
General Revenue Fund.  The revenue estimate below includes only
the lease facilitator fee as the lessor fee cannot be determined
because the number of lessors in each fee category is unknown at
this time.

The probable fiscal implication of implementing the provisions of
the bill during each of the first  five years following passage
is estimated as follows:

          1998                 238,336            562,500               7.0
                                                                           
          1999                 238,336            562,500               7.0
          2000                 238,336            562,500               7.0
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
       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.
