FISCAL NOTE, 80TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

May 4, 2007

TO:	Honorable John Carona, Chair, Senate Committee on Transportation & Homeland Security
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB2045 by Phillips (Relating to revenue from Texas State Rifle Association specialty license plates.), As Engrossed

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Transportation Code to change the distribution of revenue from the Texas State Rifle Association specialty license plate that is appropriated to Texas A&M University and specify that the proceeds are to be appropriated to the Texas Cooperative Extension of Texas A&M University. Fifty percent of the amount appropriated to Texas A&M University would be used to supplement existing and future scholarship programs supported by the Texas State Rifle Association and the remaining fifty percent would used to support of the 4-H Shooting Sports Program for youth.

Based on the analysis of the Texas A&M University System Administrative and General Offices and the Texas Department of Transportation, it is assumed the provisions of the bill would not result in a fiscal impact to the state.

The bill would take effect on September 1, 2007.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
