Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB1985 by Flynn (Relating to debt cancellation agreements offered in connection with certain retail installment contracts and leases for vehicles.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Finance Code relating to debt cancellation agreements offered in connection with certain retail installment contracts and leases for vehicles. Under the provisions of the bill, the Attorney General would be permitted to bring action in the name of the state against a person to restrain or enjoin the person from violation of the bill's provisions.
The Office of the Attorney General anticipates any additional work resulting from the passage of the bill could be reasonably absorbed within current resources.
The Office of Consumer Credit Commission is a self-directed and semi independent (SDSI) agency and is required to collect revenues sufficient to cover its costs, so that any additional costs incurred in implementing the provisions of this bill would be offset by an equal amount of revenue.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
