No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation would be required to register elevator contractors and approve continuing education courses, and would require contractors to provide reports on serviced equipment. The agency estimates a population of approximately 45 individuals. It is assumed the agency can re-allocate its current resources in order to absorb any costs associated with the bill.
