FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 1, 2013

TO:	Honorable Joseph Pickett, Chair, House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB2665 by Taylor, Van (Relating to the use of a concealed handgun license as valid proof of personal identification.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Business and Commerce Code to stipulate an individual may not deny the holder of a valid concealed handgun license (CHL) access to certain goods, services, or facilities because the holder has or presents a CHL rather than a driver's license or other acceptable form of personal identification. It is assumed the costs of implementing the bill's provision could be absorbed within current appropriations.  The bill would take effect September 1, 2013. 

Local Government Impact

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