O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB2370 by Vaught (Relating to exempting United States attorneys from certain requirements for obtaining or renewing a concealed handgun license and to the authority of United States attorneys to carry certain weapons.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Government Code to exempt United States attorneys from certain requirements and fees for obtaining a concealed handgun license. The bill would take effect on September 1, 2009. The Department of Public Safety indicates the bill would require that the Concealed Handgun Licensing Bureau complete some programming to add the US attorney category to special conditions in the License to Carry database and through Texas Online, but this analysis assumes that the fiscal and operational impact to the department would not be significant. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
