TO:	Honorable Bryan Hughes, Chair, Senate Committee on State Affairs

FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board

IN RE:	HB2112 by Metcalf (Relating to the carrying of holstered handguns by handgun license holders.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the penal code as it relates to the carrying of holstered handguns by individuals with a handgun license. Under the provisions of the bill, the definition of holster would be amended.

The Office of Court Administration and Comptroller of Public Accounts indicate the modifications outlined in the bill's provisions would not result in a significant fiscal impact. This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill addressing felony sanctions would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
