LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION March 28, 2011 TO: Honorable Sid Miller, Chair, House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety FROM: John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB1083 by Elkins (Relating to the issuance of an identification card to certain honorably retired peace officers.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Government Code to require a law enforcement agency or governmental entity to issue an identification card to an honorably retired peace officer holding a certificate of proficiency if the entity was the last to appoint or employ the officer. The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all members elected to each house. If the bill does not receive the votes required to pass, the bill would take effect September 1, 2011. No significant fiscal impact to the state is anticipated. Local Government Impact There would be costs to a local law enforcement agency required to print identification cards, but the amounts would vary depending on the number of honorably retired peace officers that request an identification card and the entity that last appointed or employed the peace officer that would be required to print the card. It is assumed that larger municipalities and counties would experience a greater amount of costs due to a greater number of peace officers; however, the amounts are not anticipated to be significant statewide.
