FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
April 30, 2021
TO:
Honorable Charles Perry, Chair, Senate Committee on Water, Agriculture & Rural Affairs
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB1699 by Raney (Relating to the taking of unbanded pen-reared pheasant and quail by certain landowners.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Parks and Wildlife Code to allow a person to hunt un-banded pen-reared quail or pheasant on his or her property. The bill would not allow a property owner to exceed a bag limit or to take quail or pheasant during a closed season. The bill would take effect September 1, 2021, or immediately if it received a vote of two-thirds of all members elected to each house.
Based on the analysis of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
