LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION April 5, 2011 TO: Honorable Ryan Guillen, Chair, House Committee on Culture, Recreation & Tourism FROM: John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB3808 by King, Tracy O. (Relating to fishing with certain archery equipment in certain counties.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend portions of the Parks and Wildlife Code as it relates to bowfishing, as defined, in certain counties. The bill would permit an individual to bowfish along the navigable river or stream located wholly or partially in Dimmit, Edwards, Frio, Kenedy, Llano, Maverick, Real, Uvalde, or Zavala county provided the individual has acquired a fishing license and freshwater fishing stamp. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department reports it is likely individuals who would bowfish in these specific locations are already active in angling, and would already possess a fishing license and stamp. Accordingly, to the extent the bill would amend fishing regulations, no significant fiscal implications to the state are anticipated. The bill would take immediate effect if the bill receives two-thirds the vote of all members in both houses. Otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2011. Local Government Impact No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. Source Agencies:802 Parks and Wildlife Department LBB Staff: JOB, KM, TB
