FISCAL NOTE, 80TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 11, 2007

TO:	Honorable Kip Averitt, Chair, Senate Committee on Natural Resources
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB573 by Brimer (Relating to an interim study concerning the breeding of white-tailed and mule deer in this state.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would create a new select interim committee to study the practice of breeding white-tailed deer and mule deer. The committee would consist of nine members, appointed by the Lieutenant Governor, the Speaker of the House, and the Governor. To the extent that staff of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) would be involved in assisting and providing data to the select committee, according to TPWD staff time and resources needed to provide this assistance are expected to be minimal, therefore no significant fiscal impact to the State is anticipated.

The bill would take effect September 1, 2007.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
