FISCAL NOTE, 88TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

May 8, 2023

TO:	Honorable Charles Schwertner, Chair, Senate Committee on Business & Commerce
FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1391 by Schaefer (Relating to the requirements to obtain a residential wireman license.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

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

This estimate assumes that any negative impact to revenue from offering incentives waiving licensing fees as proposed in the bill would be offset by an increased number of license applications and associated fees due to the promotion of these education programs.

Local Government Impact

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