FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

May 2, 2013

TO:	Honorable Abel Herrero, Chair, House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1333 by Perry (Relating to the designation of certain synthetic compounds to Penalty Group 2 or 2-A of the Texas Controlled Substances Act.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code as it relates to the designation of certain synthetic compounds to Penalty Group 2 or 2-A of the Texas Controlled Substances Act. 

 
This analysis assumes the Department of Public Safety could implement the provisions of the bill within existing appropriations. For this analysis, it is assumed the number of offenders convicted under these statutes would not result in a significant impact on the programs and workload of State corrections agencies or on the demand for resources and services of those agencies.

Local Government Impact

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