FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | SB1271 by Jackson, Mike (Relating to fees for licenses issued by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend Chapter 47 of the Parks and Wildlife Code relating to fees for licenses issued by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD). TPWD indicates the bill would extend the current limits on fee increases for commercial bay shrimp boat, commercial gulf shrimp boat, wholesale fish dealers, retail fish dealers, and retail dealer’s truck licenses from current levels until September 1, 2007. To the extent the bill maintains the current level of pricing and prohibits raising license fees, no significant fiscal implications to the State are anticipated.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2005.
