                       74th Regular Session

                          April 12, 1995



 TO:     Honorable Bill Sims, Chair             IN RE:  Senate BillNo. 1106
         Committee on Natural Resources                 By: Sims
         Senate
         Austin, Texas






FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on Senate Bill No.
1106 (Relating to the management of wildlife resources; providing
a penalty.) 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 remove restrictions regarding agreements for the
protection and management of wildlife resources and for the
restocking of species in national forests.  It would also provide
for the sale of various body parts of deer and elk, hunting on
Lower Colorado River Authority Land, and allow the Commission to
delegate to the Executive Director the authority to finalize
regulations on seasons and bag limits for migratory birds.

The bill would give landowners a defense against killing a
carnivorous mammal or other wildlife on the endangered species
list if it poses a threat to livestock.

The provision that would remove restrictions regarding agreements
for the protection and management of wildlife resources and for
the restocking of species in national forests could result in a
cost, however, Parks and Wildlife indicates there are currently
no proposals to enter into any additional agreements at this
time.  Therefore, there would be no significant fiscal
implication to the State.    




No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.
