IN RE:	SB2233 by Menéndez (Relating to the completion of sexual harassment prevention training and ethics training to register as a lobbyist.), As Passed 2nd House

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Government Code to require the completion of sexual harassment prevention training and ethics training to register as a lobbyist.

While the Texas Ethics Commission indicates there would be a cost to the agency related to modification of an existing database, the agency could absorb those costs using existing resources.

Local Government Impact

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