Honorable Joe Straus, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives
FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB1681 by Bohac (Relating to the authority of a county clerk to require an individual to present photo identification to file certain documents.), As Passed 2nd House
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Local Government Code to authorize a county clerk in certain counties to require a person filing a document in person to present a photo identification and could make a copy of the document that would remain confidential. The clerk could not charge a fee to copy or record the information from a photo identification.
Local Government Impact
Because the bill would not have statewide impact on units of local government of the same type or class, no comment from this office is required by the rules of the House/Senate as to its probable fiscal implication on units of local government.
