Fiscal Analysis
The bill would require the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation
(TDLR) to register and regulate wall and ceiling contractors and
provides for administrative penalties.
Methodology
It is estimated that TDLR would have additional costs in registering wall
and ceiling contractors and in investigating possible violations under
the provisions of the bill.
It is assumed that the agency would set fees necessary to cover any costs
associated with implementing the provisions of the bill.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.
