TO:	Honorable Byron Cook, Chair, House Committee on State Affairs
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB3286 by Davis, Yvonne (Relating to prohibiting the sale or release of personal identifying information by a state governmental body.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Government Code, Chapter 559 to prohibit the sale or release of an individual's personal indentifying information by a state agency to a person who does not work for the state unless it must be released to provide a government service, is part of an open records request under Chapter 552, or is relevant to an investigation.

The bill takes effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If the bill does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, it takes effect September 1, 2013.

The Office of the Attorney General and the Department of Public Safety anticipate any additional work resulting from the passage of the bill could be reasonably absorbed within current resources.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
