FISCAL NOTE, 79TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 22, 2005

TO:	Honorable Frank Madla, Chair, Senate Committee on Intergovernmental Relations
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB1106 by Madla (Relating to continuing education courses for a county treasurer.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require that the introductory course and the continuing education training required of a county treasurer be sponsored or cosponsored by an accredited public institution of higher education. The bill would take effect immediately if it receives the required two-thirds vote in each house; otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2005.

Under current statute, at least 10 hours of continuing education and the introductory course for a county treasurer must be taken at an accredited public institution of higher education. If there are any differences in costs of the courses between those at a public institution of higher education and those sponsored or cosponsored by an institution, those differences are not anticipated to be significant.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
