FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 7, 2009

TO:	Honorable John Carona, Chair, Senate Committee on Transportation & Homeland Security
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB367 by Carona (Relating to the prosecution of and punishment for certain criminal offenses involving the use of a false or fictitious identity or identifying documents.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Penal Code and Transportation Code as they relate to the prosecution and punishment for certain criminal offenses involving the use of a false or fictitious identity or identifying document. The bill would take effect September 1, 2009 and apply only to an offense committed on or after the effective date.

 

For this analysis it is assumed that the number of offenders convicted under this statute would not result in a significant impact on the programs and workload of state corrections agencies or on the demand for resources and services of those agencies.

Local Government Impact

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