FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB3318 by Brown, Betty (Relating to continuing education requirements for renewal of a structural pest control business license. ), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Occupations Code relating to continuing education requirements for renewal of a structural pest control business license.  The Structural Pest Control Boards anticipates an increase in workload related to course review, information inquiries and regulation preparation.  Based on the analysis of the Structural Pest Control Board, it is assumed that implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.

This bill would take effect September 1, 2005.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
