FISCAL NOTE, 84TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

February 23, 2015

TO:	Honorable Susan Lewis King, Chair, House Committee on Defense & Veterans' Affairs
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB127 by McClendon (Relating to the issuance of specialty license plates to honor recipients of certain military medals.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Transportation Code to require the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to issue specialty license plates for recipients of the Commendation Medal for each branch of the military.

There would be no fee for issuance of the new specialty plate. Under current law, an eligible person would be authorized to apply for of one set of the new specialty plates without payment of the regular vehicle registration fee. Based on the analysis of DMV, it is assumed implementation of the bill would not result in a significant impact to vehicle registration fee revenue and any additional costs or duties could be absorbed within the agency's existing resources.

Local Government Impact

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