FISCAL NOTE, 88TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION


March 31, 2023

TO:	Honorable Stephanie Klick, Chair, House Committee on Public Health

FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board

IN RE:	HB667 by Johnson, Ann (Relating to the licensing and regulation of music therapists; requiring an occupational license; authorizing fees.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Occupations Code to create a new Chapter to regulate music therapists and the practice of music therapy.

Based on the analysis of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the bill's provisions could be accomplished with existing resources.

Based on the analysis of the Comptroller of Public Accounts, the addition of the new license type would generate an average of $57,400 in revenue each fiscal year from licensing fees for the state.

Local Government Impact

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