         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SB352 ( Relating 
to the continuation and functions of the Texas National Guard 
Armory Board.) this office has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SB352-As Introduced
         
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. 
 

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 continue the National Guard Armory Board for 
four years, setting the date for the next Sunset review at September 
1, 2001.  In addition, the bill would restructure the board 
composition to include more public members, including members 
with experience in construction management.

The National 
Guard Armory Board is subject to the provisions of the Texas 
Sunset Act, and unless continued by the 75th Legislature, will 
be abolished September 1, 1997.  Funding for the National Guard 
Armory Board is included in the General Appropriations bill, 
as introduced, and is contingent upon passage of S.B. 352 or 
similar legislation.  The General Appropriations bill, as introduced, 
would provide general revenue, grants, and federal funds and 
would provide $6,216, 421 and 31 employees in fiscal year 1999. 

          
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
