FISCAL NOTE, 89TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION


April 4, 2025

TO:	Honorable Bryan Hughes, Chair, Senate Committee on State Affairs

FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board

IN RE:	SB1862 by Hughes (Relating to interstate notification by the voter registrar of certain applicants for voter registration.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Election Code related to certain applicants for voter registration. In cases where applicants are applying to vote in Texas after previously being resident in another state, it would require voter registrars in Texas to notify the voter registrar in the previous state and to submit a monthly report to the Secretary of State (SOS) providing certain information about these applicants.

It is assumed that any costs related to this bill at the SOS could be absorbed within existing resources.

Local Government Impact

The fiscal implications of the bill to voter registrars cannot be determined at this time.
