LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE 74th Regular Session April 25, 1995 TO: Honorable Clyde Alexander, Chair IN RE: Senate Bill No. Committee on Transportation 1139, House of Representatives as engrossed Austin, Texas By: Cain FROM: John Keel, Director In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on Senate Bill No. 1139 (Relating to the duties and responsibilities of the Motor Vehicle Board of the Texas Department of Transportation and of persons under the board's authority; providing penalties.) 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 bring the enforcement and administration of Article 6686, dealer's and manufacture's license plates and tags, under the responsibility of the Motor Vehicle Board. The bill would increase the application requirements for the General Distinguishing Number, GDN, licensees and places the GDN licensees under the Board. The bill provides for all money, paid to the Commission under Article 4413(36), V.T.C.S., be deposited to the credit of the State Highway Fund. In addition, the bill requires that all civil penalties recovered under this Act also be deposited to the credit of the State Highway Fund. The probable fiscal implication of implementing the provisions of the bill during each of the first five years following passage is estimated as follows: Fiscal Probable Cost Out Probable Revenue Probable Revenue Year of State Highway Gain to State Loss to General Fund 006 Highway Fund 006 Revenue Fund 001 1996 $1,851,425 $1,202,972 $1,022,972 1997 1,265,025 1,202,972 1,022,972 1998 1,265,025 1,202,972 1,022,972 1999 1,265,025 1,202,972 1,022,972 2000 1,265,025 1,202,972 1,022,972 Fiscal Change in Year Number of State Employees from FY 1995 1996 32.0 1997 32.0 1998 32.0 1999 32.0 2000 32.0 Similar annual fiscal implications would continue as long as the provisions of the bill are in effect.
