FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 25, 2013

TO:	Honorable Wayne Smith, Chair, House Committee on Licensing & Administrative Procedures
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB2095 by Thompson, Senfronia (Relating to the regulation of barbering and cosmetology; authorizing fees.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Occupations Code relating to the regulation of barbering and cosmetology, removing the requirements for a shampoo and artificial hairpiece specialty certificate. 

Based on information provided by the Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), it is assumed that duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished utilizing existing resources.  This analysis also assumes that a revenue loss would be realized with the implementation of the bill based on information provided by TDLR; however, the amount of revenue that would be lost from the specialty licenses collections each year is assumed to be insignificant.

Local Government Impact

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