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
