LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION May 7, 2011 TO: Honorable Sid Miller, Chair, House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety FROM: John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB161 by Raymond ( Relating to the dissemination of criminal history record information by the Department of Public Safety concerning certain intoxication offenses.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted 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 outlines criterion for which a person's criminal history record information must be removed from the internet website managed by DPS. This 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. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
