FISCAL NOTE, 78TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

May 5, 2003

TO:	Honorable Jane Nelson, Chair, Senate Committee on Health & Human Services
FROM:	John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB1587 by Lindsay (Relating to Bureau of Vital Statistics forms.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend sections 192.009 and 194.002 of the Health and Safety Code and section 108.003 of the Family Code regarding certain forms collected by the Texas Department of Health’s Bureau of Vital Statistics.  The bill would require the Bureau of Vital Statistics to return incorrect forms, including those relating to certificates of adoption, annulments of adoption, or revocations of adoption, and reports of divorce or annulment, back to the attorney of record designated on the certificate for correction.

 

No significant fiscal impact to the state is anticipated, because it is assumed the agency could implement the provisions of the bill with existing staff resources. 

 

The bill would take effect September 1, 2003.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
