FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 10, 2011

TO:
Honorable Leticia Van de Putte, Chair, Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs & Military Installations
 
FROM:
John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
SB1635 by Davis ( Relating to contributions to the fund for veterans' assistance.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend Transportation Code, Section 502.1746, to require the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to include a space on a vehicle registration renewal notice to allow a person renewing a registration to indicate the amount of money the person is voluntarily contributing to the fund for veterans’ assistance as authorized under current law. The bill would require DMV to provide a method for making a contribution to owners applying for a renewal of a motor vehicle registration using the DMV website and in any registration renewal system that succeeds the system in place on September 1, 2011.

 

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.
