FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 12, 2011

TO:	Honorable Lois W. Kolkhorst, Chair, House Committee on Public Health
FROM:	John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB3207 by Davis, Yvonne (Relating to the establishment and operation of cemeteries by certain organized religious societies and sects in certain populous municipalities.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code relating to the establishment and operation of cemeteries by certain organized religious societies and sects in certain populous municipalities.

Based on the analysis of the Funeral Service Commission and the Department of Insurance, it is assumed that duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.

The fiscal impacts of costs and revenues that may be generated in association with implementing the provisions of the bill for the Department of Banking are not considered in this analysis because fiscal impacts for this agency would be realized outside of the Treasury due to the agency being Self-Directed and Semi-Independent.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
