IN RE:	HB1182 by Middleton (relating to proof of eligibility for medical priority boarding of ferries operated by the Texas Department of Transportation; creating a criminal offense.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Transportation Code to establish a a criminal offense if an operator of a motor vehicle fraudulently obtains or attempts to obtain medical priority boarding of a ferry operated by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The bill would establish the offense as a Class C misdemeanor.

Based on the analysis of TxDOT and the Office of Court Administration, it is assumed implementation of the bill would not result in a significant fiscal impact to the State.
