FISCAL NOTE, 85TH LEGISLATURE 1st CALLED SESSION - 2017
August 7, 2017
TO:
Honorable Kelly Hancock, Chair, Senate Committee on Business & Commerce
FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB1 by Gonzales, Larry (Relating to avoiding the abolishment of certain agencies subject to the Texas Sunset Act on September 1, 2017.), As Engrossed
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Occupations Code to continue the Texas Medical Board, Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists, Texas State Board of Examiners of Marriage and Family Therapists, Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors, and Texas State Board of Social Worker Examiners until September 1, 2019.
The bill would take effect immediately upon enactment, assuming it received the requisite two-thirds majority votes in both houses of the Legislature. Otherwise, it would take effect 91 days after the last day of the First Called Session, 85th Legislature.
It is assumed that the appropriations made in SB 1, the General Appropriations Act, as certified by the Comptroller of Public Accounts for the agencies subject to abolition, would be effectuated by this legislation, and therefore this bill would not have a fiscal implication.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
