FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

May 16, 2013

TO:	Honorable David Dewhurst, Lieutenant Governor, Senate
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB673 by Carona (Relating to the requirements for elevators, escalators, and related equipment; providing penalties.), As Passed 2nd House

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code relating to requirements for elevators, escalators, and related equipment.

Based on the information provided by the Comptroller of Public Accounts, Department of Licensing and Regulation, and Office of the Attorney General, it is assumed that changes in administrative penalties under the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant revenue impact.  In addition, this analysis assumes that duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be covered within existing resources.

Local Government Impact

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