The bill would amend Subchapter G, Chapter 504 of the Transportation Code to require the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) to issue Central Catholic High School specialty license plates. The bill would stipulate that the fee for issuance of the plates, after deduction for TxDMV administrative costs, is to be deposited to the General Revenue Fund. The bill would take effect on September 1, 2023.
Based on information provided by TxDMV, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within the department's existing resources. The fee for issuance of a specialty license plate under Subchapter G, Chapter 504 of the Transportation Code is $30.00. Out of this amount $7.50 would be deposited to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles Fund for TxDMV administrative costs, $0.50 would be retained by the counties for administrative costs, and the remaining $22.00 would be deposited to the General Revenue Fund. Based on the information and analysis provided by TxDMV and the Comptroller's office, it is assumed the issuance of the new specialty plate would not result in a significant fiscal impact to the State.
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
