TO:	Honorable Robert Duncan, Chair, Senate Committee on State Affairs
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1179 by Flores (Relating to procurements by the Texas Lottery Commission.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Government Code to provide that general law governing purchasing and contracts by state agencies applies to the Texas Lottery Commission (TLC). This bill would only apply to purchases or contracts made on or after the effective date, with certain exceptions.

Based on the analysis of the TLC, it is assumed that the duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.

This bill takes effect September 1, 2007.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
