IN RE:
HB4010 by Burns (Relating to the regulation of certain amusement rides; providing a civil penalty.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Occupations Code relating to the regulation of certain amusement rides; providing a civil penalty.
Based on information provided by the Texas Department of Insurance and the Office of the Attorney General, it is assumed that all duties and responsibilities necessary to implement the provisions of the bill could be accomplished within existing resources.
Local Government Impact
The bill would allow a local prosecuting attorney to bring an action against an offender. Costs to local courts would vary depending on the number of actions brought under the provisions of the bill but are not anticipated to be significant.
Costs associated with enforcement, prosecution and confinement could likely be absorbed within existing resources. New revenue from fines imposed and collected is not anticipated to have a significant fiscal impact.
