FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 30, 2011

TO:	Honorable Joseph Pickett, Chair, House Committee on Defense & Veterans' Affairs
FROM:	John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB938 by Smithee (Relating to the issuance of specialty license plates for women veterans.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend Subchapter D, Chapter 504 of the Transportation Code to require the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to issue Women Veterans specialty license plates for active and former members of  United States armed forces, Texas National Guard, or Texas State Guard.

DMV indicates there would be no additional fee for the issuance of the new specialty license plate. Based on the analysis of DMV, 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 fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
