Fiscal Analysis

The bill would make appropriations to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation or the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation for the examination and license fees contained in House Bill 1487, 78th Legislature, Regular Session. The bill would require that the cost of employee benefits incurred in administering House Bill 1487, 78th Legislature, Regular Session, be paid from the appropriations made in this bill.

The Comptroller of Public Accounts did not include the revenue gain from House Bill 1487, 78th Legislature, Regular Session, in the certification of House Bill 1, the general appropriations act. Therefore, the appropriation and cost shown above would not count against the amount estimated to be available for certification for the 78th Legislature, Third Called Session.


Methodology

The estimated fee collections in House Bill 1487 are $2,055,395 in fiscal year 2004 and $1,854,677 in fiscal year 2005.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
