Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend Chapter 314 of the Government Code to direct the
Legislative Budget Board, at the request of a committee chair, to
prepare a statement describing the regulatory and fiscal effects on
small businesses of a proposed bill or resolution. The bill would
define a small business as one with fewer than 50 employees.
Methodology
The estimate is based on the acquisition cost of the Regional Economic
Model and one additional staff member needed by the Legislative Budget
Board to support modeling applications.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
