IN RE:
HB238 by Krause (Relating to the enforcement of certain federal laws regulating firearms, firearm accessories, and firearm ammunition within the State of Texas.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
It is assumed that the provisions of the bill relating to state and local support of certain federal firearms laws could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
The provisions of the bill could result in a loss of certain federal funds. Federal funds that may be impacted include those associated with federal and state coordinated law enforcement activities. However, the fiscal impact cannot be determined because it is unknown what federal and state laws regulating firearms, firearm accessories, and firearm ammunition may be enacted in the future.
