FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 5, 2009

TO:	Honorable Joseph Pickett, Chair, House Committee on Transportation
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB3517 by Gattis (Relating to the provision of social security numbers by applicants for motor vehicle certificates of title.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would repeal provisions in the Transportation Code requiring the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to require an applicant for a certificate of title to provide the applicant's social security number (SSN) and requiring TxDOT to enter the SSN in the department's electronic database.

Based on the analysis of TxDOT, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.

Local Government Impact

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