      TO: Honorable Steven Wolens, Chair            IN RE:  Senate Bill No. 1333, As Engrossed
          Committee on State Affairs                              By: Ellis
          House
          Austin, Texas
         
         
         
         
         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SB1333 ( Relating 
to reporting of representation before state agencies by state 
officers and employees.) this office has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SB1333-As Engrossed
         
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 
The bill would recreate the currently abolished State Ethics 
Fund as a separate fund in the State Treasury, but would not 
rededicate any revenue to the fund. The recreation of special 
funds and dedicated revenue sources outside the General Revenue 
Fund could further restrict the Legislature's ability to appropriate 
revenues for general operating purposes.
          
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
