Austin, Texas

FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

May 13, 2021

TO:	Honorable Robert Nichols, Chair, Senate Committee on Transportation
FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB3927 by Hefner (Relating to the issuance and use of certain temporary motor vehicle tags and the classification of temporary motor vehicle tags as governmental records for purposes of certain criminal offenses.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend Chapter 37 of the Penal Code to include a temporary motor vehicle tag in the definition for "governmental record" that would be subject to certain criminal offenses for tampering with governmental records as prescribed by Section 37.10 of the Penal Code. The bill would amend Chapter 503 of the Transportation Code to authorize the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) to deny a motor vehicle dealer's access to the temporary tag database.

This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on state correctional populations or on the demand for state correctional resources. Based on the information provided by TxDMV, it is assumed implementation of the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant fiscal or operational impact to the agency or the State.

Local Government Impact

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