FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 22, 2021

TO:	Honorable Richard Peña Raymond, Chair, House Committee on Defense & Veterans' Affairs
FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB886 by Blanco (Relating to the provision of citizenship assistance to veterans by the Texas Veterans Commission.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Government Code to require the Texas Veterans Commission to provide citizenship assistance by evaluating a veteran's citizenship status, upon request, and educating the veteran on becoming a United States citizen and assist in facilitating the naturalization process. 

This analysis assumes there would be a minimal cost associated with implementing the provisions of the bill that could be absorbed within current resources. 

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
