IN RE:
HB402 by Thompson, Senfronia (Relating to the adoption of the Uniform Electronic Legal Material Act.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Government Code to require the adoption of standards established by the Uniform Electronic Legal Material Act. Analysis by the Secretary of State indicates there would be one-time implementation costs, as well as ongoing information technology cost associated with these requirements. In addition, analysis by the Texas Library and Archives Commission indicates there would be one-time personnel costs to implement the provisions of the bill. However, based on that analysis, it is assumed that these costs could be absorbed using existing state resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
