Based on Section 31.041(d) of the substitute, this analysis assumes the $500 fee is a replacement rather than an addition to the currently authorized fee of $130. The estimate is based on data from the U.S. Bureau of Census' 2000 County Business Patterns—Texas on boat dealers, manufacturers, and distributors, and was adjusted for a licensing frequency of two years and the licensing exemption regarding certain small boats.
Section 31.049(c) of the substitute deletes the requirement for non-negotiable titles. As a result, some cost savings are estimated for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. These estimates are based on the current number of non-negotiable titles, paper and postage costs.
