| IN RE: | HB631 by Hilderbran (Relating to the issuance of Texas Lions Camp license plates.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Transportation Code to require the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to issue specially designed Texas Lions Camp license plates for cars and light trucks. The bill would require the plates to have certain features. The bill would require the plates to be designed in consultation with the Texas Lions League for Crippled Children and that applicants would submit a $25 annual fee in addition to other registration fees; that these fees would be deposited to the credit of the State Highway Fund; that $8 be used for administrative costs; and that $17 be used by TxDOT for the purpose established in the bill. The bill would require owners disposing of a vehicle during the registration year to return the plates to TxDOT.
No significant fiscal implication is anticipated due to the estimated number of license plate issuances. Also, the analysis provided by TxDOT indicates that duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.
Because the legislation would create a dedicated revenue source, the revenue source included in this bill would be subject to funds consolidation review by the current legislature.
