TO:
Honorable Dade Phelan, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB3927 by Hefner (Relating to certain temporary motor vehicle tags.), As Passed 2nd House

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Transportation Code to authorize the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) by rule to establish the maximum number of temporary tags that a dealer or converter may obtain in a calendar year. The bill would require TxDMV to monitor the number of temporary tags obtained by a dealer or convertor. The bill would authorize TxDMV to deny access to a temporary tag database if the agency determines that a dealer or converter is fraudulently obtaining temporary tags from the temporary tag database. The bill would authorize a dealer or convertor to appeal TxDMV's decision to deny access to the temporary tag database through the contested case process provided in Subchapter O, Chapter 2301, Occupations Code.

Based on the information provided by TxDMV, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within the agency's existing resources.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
