FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 11, 2011

TO:	Honorable Sid Miller, Chair, House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety
FROM:	John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB3245 by Elkins (Relating to a photograph on a personal identification certificate, driver's license, or commercial driver's license.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Transportation Code to permit the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to include a grayscale or color photograph personal identification certificate, or a grayscale photograph on a driver’s license or commercial driver’s license. The bill would take effect September 1, 2011. This analysis assumes DPS could implement the provisions of the bill within existing appropriations.

Local Government Impact

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