LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION May 2, 2009 TO: Honorable Tommy Merritt, Chair, House Committee on Public Safety FROM: John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB1278 by McClendon (Relating to the proof of identity and residency required of an applicant for a driver's license or personal identification certificate. ), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend Section 521.142(a), Transportation Code relating to the proof of identity and residency required for an applicant for a driver's license or personal identification certificate. The bill would add Section 521.1421, Evidence of Identity and Residency, which outlines a list of acceptable documents an applicant for a driver license or personal identification certificate may present to verify his or her identity and residential address. The Department of Public Safety indicates that professional service fees would be required to modify the Driver License System to update identity and residency document requirements, but this analysis assumes that such costs could be adequately absorbed within the current funding resources of the department. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
