LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION March 22, 2009 TO: Honorable John T. Smithee, Chair, House Committee on Insurance FROM: John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB2458 by Eiland (Relating to requiring insurers to offer conversion of group policies.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend Insurance Code to require insurers to offer conversion of group accident and health insurance policies.Based on the analysis of the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI), it is assumed that there would be a one-time revenue gain of $18,700 in the General Revenue Dedicated Account Fund 36 in fiscal year 2010 because the bill would result in additional form filings. Since General Revenue Dedicated Account Fund 36 is a self-leveling account, this analysis assumes all revenue generated would go toward fund balances or the maintenance tax would be set to recover a lower level of revenue the following year. It is also assumed that any costs realized by TDI from implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources. Local Government Impact No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. Source Agencies:454 Department of Insurance LBB Staff: JOB, KJG, CH
