Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB567-As Introduced
Implementing the provisions of the bill would result in a net
impact of $0 to General Revenue Related Funds through the biennium
ending August 31, 1999.
The bill would make no appropriation but could provide the legal
basis for an appropriation of funds to implement the provisions
of the bill.
Fiscal Analysis
This bill would allow the Texas Workforce Commission to use
General Revenue Account 165 to fund enforcement activites related
to the Chapters 51, 61 and 62 of the Labor Code. Additionally,
the bill provides for a less expensive method of notifying people
who are delinquent in payments to the Commission.
Methodolgy
Section 10 of the bill allows the use of regular postage, instead
of registered mail, to notify people who are delinquent on payments.
This would result in savings from postage costs.
