LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION April 13, 2009 TO: Honorable Tommy Merritt, Chair, House Committee on Public Safety FROM: John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB3352 by Naishtat (Relating to the collection, dissemination, and correction of certain judicial determinations for a federal firearm background check.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Government Code and Health and Safety Code concerning matters of the collection, dissemination and correction of certain judicial determinations for a federal firearm background check. The bill would provide for a reporting procedure whereby a court clerk must prepare and forward to the Department of Public Safety (DPS) certain information, including identifying information and the relevant court order, regarding persons who meet certain criteria related to mental health or status. The bill also would provide that a person furloughed or discharged from court ordered mental health treatment may petition the court for an order stating that the person qualifies for relief from a firearms disability. The bill would take effect on September 1, 2009. This analysis assumes that implementing the provisions of the bill would pose no significant fiscal impact to the state.
