In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SB645 ( Relating 
to state fiscal matters, including holidays, employee compensation 
and deductions, reports, consultants, and the comptroller's 
powers.) this office has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SB645-As Passed 2nd House
         
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 
Fiscal Analysis

The bill would amend numerous sections of 
the Government Code relating to state payroll-related administrative 
topics.  In addition, it would make various changes relating 
to the Comptroller's Office and government accounting.  


Methodology

The 
increase in longevity payments to state employees with 30 or 
more years of state government service would  impose a cost 
to state agencies of approximately $900,000 per year. However, 
the cost to each agency is not expected to be significant. 
          
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government 
is anticipated.
