FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

February 28, 2011

TO:	Honorable John Carona, Chair, Senate Committee on Business & Commerce
FROM:	John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB763 by Ellis (Relating to the designation of certain areas as banking development districts to encourage the establishment of financial institution branches in those areas.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Finance Code by adding Chapter 279, Banking Development Districts, and would allow for the designation of certain areas as banking development districts to encourage the establishment of financial institution branches in those areas.
 
Based on the analysis of the Office of the Governor and the Comptroller of Public Accounts it is assumed that duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.

Costs associated with the implementation of the bill for the Office of the Consumer Credit Commissioner, the Department of Banking, the Department of Savings and Mortgage Lending and the Credit Union Department are not considered in this analysis because fiscal impacts for these agencies would be realized outside of the Treasury due to these agencies being Self-Directed and Semi-Independent.

Local Government Impact

It is assumed that a local government would submit an application for the designation of a banking development district only if funding and partnership opportunities were available.
