LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION April 3, 2011 TO: Honorable John T. Smithee, Chair, House Committee on Insurance FROM: John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB3570 by Smithee (Relating to insurance coverage requirements for certain amusement rides.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Occupations Code relating to insurance coverage requirements for certain amusement rides. Based on the analysis provided by the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI), it is assumed that any costs associated with the implementation of this bill would be absorbed within existing agency resources. Also based on information provided by TDI, this analysis assumes that implementation of the bill would result in a revenue loss of $80,000 each fiscal year to General Revenue-Dedicated Texas Department of Insurance Fund 36 from a decrease in filing fees. Since General Revenue-Dedicated Texas Department of Insurance Fund 36 is a self-leveling account, this analysis also assumes that any decrease in revenue resulting from the implementation of the bill would result in a decrease in the account fund balances and that the department would adjust the assessment of the maintenance tax or other fees accordingly in the following year. Local Government Impact No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. Source Agencies:454 Department of Insurance LBB Staff: JOB, KJG, MW, CH
