FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 8, 2021

TO:	Honorable Paul Bettencourt, Chair, Senate Committee on Local Government
FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB916 by Seliger (relating to information regarding certain noncompliance by an appraisal district in the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation records of a professional property tax appraiser serving as chief appraiser for the district.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

It is assumed that the costs associated with the bill's provisions relating to information regarding certain noncompliance by an appraisal district in the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) records of a professional property tax appraiser serving as chief appraiser for the district could be absorbed using existing resources. TDLR would be able to make changes to the system which contains license information for appraisers to record the required notation of noncompliance and provide to any local government entity the requested information for an appraiser being considered for chief appraiser of the entity's appraisal district with existing resources. TDLR would not charge for any information provided to local government entities.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
