In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SB1910 ( Relating 
to the regulation of poultry operations.) this office has detemined 
the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SB1910-Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted
         

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 provide the Texas Natural Resource 
Conservation Commission with the authority to develop rules 
regarding handling and disposal of poultry carcasses.  The rulemaking 
authority would be effective on the later of the date of adoption 
or March 1, 1999.  
         
 
          
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
