Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend the Transportation Code to require $22 of each fee collected for Donate Life Texas license plates to be sent by the Texas Department of Transportation to the Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) rather than the State Highway Fund. The bill would require money CPA receives from this fee to be used to pay the costs of the Glenda Dawson Donate Life-Texas Registry and of the Texas Organ, Tissue, and Eye Donor Council. The bill authorizes money that is in excess of these costs to be awarded using a competitive grant process to certain, qualified organizations. The bill would take effect September 1, 2009.

Methodology
Based on the information provided by TxDOT and the Comptroller's office, it is assumed the provisions of the bill would result in a revenue loss to the State Highway Fund from specialty plate fees currently deposited to the fund and a corresponding increase in revenue reported to the Comptroller in the Specialty License Plates General Account 5140. Based on the analysis of TxDOT it is assumed $8,920 each year would be deposited to Account 5140 instead of the State Highway Fund.
