      TO: Honorable James E. "Pete" Laney            IN RE:  House Bill No. 1516, As Passed 2nd House
          Speaker of the House                Thompson
          House of Representatives
          Austin, Texas
         
         
         
         
         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on HB1516 ( Relating 
to the creation of a record keeping system for assisting law 
enforcement in the location of missing children.) this office 
has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB1516-As Passed 2nd House
         

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. 

         

         
 
It is projected that the Department of Health and the Department 
of Public Safety could absorb the additional workload associated 
with the provisions of this bill within existing resources.
          
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government 
is anticipated.  It is estimated that some costs would be incurred 
by local registration districts; however, the costs will be 
distributed among approximately 600 locations.  Large metropolitan 
areas such as Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio would 
be disproportionately affected.  Some local areas which are 
not automated would have higher costs.
