                       74th Regular Session

                          March 20, 1995



 TO:     Honorable Ken Armbrister, Chair        IN RE:  Senate BillNo. 1020
         Committee on State Affairs                     By: Brown
         Senate
         Austin, Texas






FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on Senate Bill No.
1020 (Relating to the transfer of certain programs from the
governor's office.) 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 transfer the Office of Immigration and Refugee
Affairs from the Governor's Office to the Department of Human
Services.

The bill would transfer the Health and Human Services
Transportation and Planning Office from the Governor's Office to
the Health and Human Services Commission.

The bill would transfer the Energy Office and the Energy
Management Center from the Governor's Office to the General
Services Commission.  The bill also specifies the Energy Office
as the state agency responsible for administration of the Native
American Restitutionary Program.

Because the receiving agencies are currently providing the
services through Interagency Contracts from the Governor's
Office, it is anticipated that the transfers will have no fiscal
impact on the receiving agencies.


No fiscal implication to the State or units of local government
is anticipated.
