FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
March 25, 2009

TO:
Honorable Veronica Gonzales, Chair, House Committee on Border & Intergovernmental Affairs
 
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB4185 by Guillen (Relating to an annual report by the Border Security Council regarding criminal street gangs and gang-related crime.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Government Code to require that the Border Security Council (BSC) submit an annual report detailing criminal street gangs and recommendations for actions that may be taken to prevent and reduce gang-related crime. The bill would require that BSC submit the report to the governor not later than September 1, 2010. The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house and if it does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, the bill would take effect September 1, 2009.

The Department of Public Safety reports that the Bureau of Information Analysis is presently compiling this information, and therefore the bill would pose no significant fiscal or operational impact to the state.


Local Government Impact

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