LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION March 29, 2009 TO: Honorable Tommy Merritt, Chair, House Committee on Public Safety FROM: John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB314 by Raymond (Relating to the dissemination of criminal history record information by the Department of Public Safety concerning certain intoxication offenses.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Government Code to require that the Department of Public Safety (DPS) design and implement a website that would allow any person to electronically search for and receive information described as public information under Chapter 62, Code of Criminal Procedure. The bill would also require DPS to establish a procedure whereby a peace officer or employee of a law enforcement agency would be able to automatically request and receive information regarding criminal history record information concerning certain intoxication offenses. The bill would take effect September 1, 2009. The analysis assumes that any costs associated with implementing provisions of the bill could be reasonably absorbed within current resources and therefore the bill would have no significant fiscal impact to the state.
