The bill would authorize the use of proceeds to support the Safe Routes to School Program of a designated statewide nonprofit organization whose primary purpose is to promote bicyclist safety, education, and access or for marketing of the Safe Routes to School Program and the license plates. The bill would allow the Texas Education Agency to use proceeds from the sale of the license plates that are deposited to the Share the Road Account as a funding match for federal safe routes to school and obesity prevention programs.   The bill would take effect immediately upon receiving a vote of two-thirds of all members elected to each house or otherwise on September 1, 2009. Methodology Based on the analysis of the Comptroller, it is assumed the provisions of the bill would result in arevenue gain to the Share the Road Account 5121 in the General Revenue Fund and a correspondingrevenue loss to the State Highway Fund (Fund 6). If the bill receives the required vote to take effectimmediately, it is assumed the bill would result in a $44,000 gain to Account 5121 and acorresponding loss to Fund 6 in fiscal year 2009, which reflects two months of the specialty platerevenue. If the bill takes effect on September 1, 2009, it is assumed the bill would result in a revenuegain of $267,000 with a corresponding loss to Fund 6 beginning in fiscal year 2010, and sales of the specialty plates would increase by approximately 1.1 percent each year. Local Government Impact No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
