FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 17, 2013

TO:	Honorable Wayne Smith, Chair, House Committee on Licensing & Administrative Procedures
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB672 by Carona (Relating to the regulation of industrialized housing.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Occupations Code relating to the regulation of industrialized housing and buildings.

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 by utilizing existing resources.  Based on information provided by the Comptroller of Public Accounts, TDLR could impose a penalty in an enforcement action only if the action is initiated during the two year period before the second anniversary of the date of the final on-site inspection of the industrialized housing conducted under Section 1202.203.  This analysis assumes an insignificant loss in penalty revenues would be realized during that time period.

Local Government Impact

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