FISCAL NOTE, 84TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 3, 2015

TO:
Honorable Ryan Guillen, Chair, House Committee on Culture, Recreation & Tourism
 
FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB2178 by Keffer (Relating to waiving a Parks and Wildlife Department fee for certain veterans and other military personnel taking the hunter education course.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend portions of the Parks and Wildlife Code relating to the hunter education program.  The bill would waive the fee for the hunter education course for certain military veterans and active duty military personnel. 

Based on information provided by the Comptroller of Public Accounts and the Parks and Wildlife Department, the bill could reduce revenue to the Game, Fish, and Water Safety Account No. 9. This analysis assumes there would be a minimal revenue loss to this account.

Local Government Impact

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