FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 4, 2013

TO:	Honorable John Carona, Chair, Senate Committee On Business & Commerce
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB562 by Carona (Relating to the license qualifications and continuing education requirements for polygraph examiners.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Occupations Code relating to the license qualifications and continuing education requirements for polygraph examiners.

Based on information provided by the Department of Licensing and Regulation, it is assumed that a revenue gain would be realized with the implementation of the bill; however, it is also assumed that the amount of revenue gain from the additional licensing of polygraph examiners and the number of continuing education courses approved would be minimal.  In addition, this analysis assumes that costs associated with implementing the duties and responsibilities of the bill could be covered within existing resources.

Local Government Impact

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