A new program would have to be created to capture the information required for registration, and to transmit this information to the United States Selective Service System (Selective Service). Fiscal Analysis The bill would require DPS to send information in an electronic format to the Selective Service. DPS would be required to send all the information necessary to register male applicants under the Military Selective Service, should such applicants voluntarily decide to register in this fashion. DPS would have to develop a consent statement that would need to be filled out to constitute a complete application for a driver's license or personal identification certificate. The bill would take effect on September 1, 2001. Methodology DPS estimates the need for 352 contract programming hours to update the DDL, 704 contract programming hours to modify the on-line and batch Driver's License System, and 352 hours of contract programming to modify the Driver License Basic Record. DPS estimates the cost per programming hour to be $120, resulting in a total contract programming cost of $168,960. Local Government Impact No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. Source Agencies: 405 Texas Department of Public Safety LBB Staff: JK, RB, DG
