LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD

Austin, Texas

FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 18, 2021

TO:	Honorable Ken King, Chair, House Committee on Culture, Recreation & Tourism
FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1699 by Raney (Relating to the taking of unbanded pen-reared quail and pheasants by certain landowners.), As Introduced

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 at any time. 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.
