                           FISCAL NOTE
                       74th Regular Session

                           May 1, 1995



 TO:     Honorable John Whitmire, Chair         IN RE: Committee Substitute
         Committee on Criminal Justice          for
         Senate                                                Senate Bill
         Austin, Texas                          No. 1337










FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on Senate Bill No.
1337 (relating to policies and procedures of the Commission on
Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education, including
continuing education training requirements) 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 authorize the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement
Officer Standards and Education to suspend the license of a peace
officer who fails to complete certain required training.  The
bill would require the commission to develop rules and reporting
requirements to implement the provisions of the bill.

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      Change in   
             Year    of  Law Officer    Number of State

                        Education           FY 1995

                     GR Consolidated                   
                                                       
          1996                $105,939              2.0
          1997                 105,939              2.0
                                                       
          1998                 105,939              2.0
                                                       
          1999                 105,939              2.0
          2000                 105,939              2.0
                                                       
                                                       
                                                       
        
       Similar annual fiscal implications would continue as long as the
provisions of the bill are in effect.

The fiscal implication to units of local government cannot be
determined.
