FISCAL NOTE, 79TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

May 20, 2005

TO:	Honorable Rodney Ellis, Chair, Senate Committee on Government Organization
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1434 by Hamric (Relating to the continuation and functions of the Texas Lottery Commission.), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would continue the Texas Lottery Commission until September 1, 2017.

The bill would amend Section 467.021, Government Code, to increase the number of appointed commissioners from three to five.

Based on the analysis of the Texas Lottery Commission, it is assumed increased travel costs associated with the addition of two commission members could be reasonably absorbed within the agency's existing resources.

The bill takes effect on September 1, 2005.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
