TO: | Honorable Steve Ogden, Chair, Senate Committee on Infrastructure Development and Security |
FROM: | John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | SB874 by Deuell (Relating to Texas State Rifle Association license plates.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Transportation Code to dedicate revenues collected from the issuance of Texas State Rifle Association license plates for passenger cars and light trucks. The bill would require $8, of the annual $25 fee, to be deposited to the credit of the State Highway Fund and $17 to be deposited to the credit of a newly created General Revenue dedicated account to be used by the Texas A&M University for the purposes of providing scholarships programs supported by the Texas State Rifle Association and to provide grants to 4-H Club shooting sports programs to promote safety education.
No significant fiscal implication is anticipated due to the estimated number of license plate issuances.
Because the legislation would create a dedicated revenue account in the General Revenue Fund, the account included in this bill would be subject to funds consolidation review by the current legislature.
