FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 20, 2009

TO:	Honorable Edmund Kuempel, Chair, House Committee on Licensing & Administrative Procedures
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB4533 by Chavez ( Relating to the conduct of charitable poker runs by certain nonprofit organizations.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Occupations Code to authorize a qualified nonprofit organization to conduct a charitable poker run in the manner specified by the bill. The bill would specify that all proceeds from a charitable poker run must be used for the charitable purposes of the organization and would provide for the use of a portion of the proceeds to provide prizes.

Based on the analysis of the Texas Lottery Commission, it is assumed the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant fiscal impact to the state.

Local Government Impact

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