IN RE:
HB3254 by Phillips (Relating to the regulation of a motor carrier and the enforcement of motor carrier regulations; authorizing the imposition of a fee.), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Chapter 643 of the Transportation Code regarding the circumstances under which the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) could deny an application for motor carrier registration or a renewal of a registration. The bill would allow a motor carrier whose registration has been revoked to apply to TxDMV for reregistration not later than the 180th day after the date the registration was revoked. There would be a $10 fee for such applications. The bill would authorize TxDMV to deny the application under certain circumstances. The bill would take effect on January 1, 2018.
TxDMV indicates that the implementation of a $10 fee for an application for reregistration would not result in a significant fiscal impact to the State. Based on LBB's analysis of information provided by TxDMV, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within the agency's existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
