Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend Chapter 1601 of the Occupations Code, giving the
State Board of Barber Examiners sole authority to regulate the practice
and teaching of barbering and establishing a Barber School Tuition
Protection Account as a trust fund.
The would take effect on September 1, 2001.
Methodology
It is estimated that $200,000 of revenue for the new Barber School
Tuition Protection Account in fiscal year 2002 would be generated by
levying fees on each of the 28 barber schools. Each school would have to
pay an initial fee of $7,142.86 in fiscal year 2002 to bring the account
up to the $200,000 balance that would be required by the bill.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
