In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SB1114 ( relating 
to the establishment of a "wheels for work" pilot program to 
assist certain recipients of AFDC.) this office has detemined 
the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SB1114-Committee Report 2nd House, as amended
         
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         
This bill would establish a pilot program for "Wheels for Work" 
in the Texas Workforce Commission in four sites across the state. 
 The program would be modeled on the Maryland "wheels for work" 
program and is designed to assist persons who receive financial 
assistance to find and maintain employment by helping them secure 
a donated vehicle at a low cost, and to provide donors with 
a receipt for federal tax deduction purposes.
         
 
          
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
