FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB2172 by West, George "Buddy" (Relating to eligibility for a license or registration for an exemption to engage in liquified petroleum gas-related activities and to disciplinary action against licensees and registrants ), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would allow the Railroad Commission to effectively prohibit licensees and registrants for exemptions that have not resolved violations from continuing to conduct liquefied petroleum gas-related activities. No significant increase in the Railroad Commission's workload is expected.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
