FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 14, 2011

TO:	Honorable Larry Phillips, Chair, House Committee on Transportation
FROM:	John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1683 by Fletcher (Relating to specialized license plates and parking placards for vehicles of persons with disabilities.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Transportation Code to authorize a person who is a licensed to practice chiropractic in Texas or an adjacent state to provide the required written statement for an initial application for a specialty license plate for persons with disabilities or the written prescription for an initial application for a disabled parking placard made by or on behalf of a person with a mobility problem as specified by the bill.

Based on the analysis of the Department of Motor Vehicles, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within the agency's existing resources.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
