Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend the Government Code, regarding the Texas Commission on Fire Protection by requiring all revenue collected from fees authorized by Sections 419.026(a) and 419.033(b) to be deposited to the credit of a special account in General Revenue Fund 001 (i.e. GR AccountFire Protection). The bill would take effect immediately if it received the requisite two-thirds majority votes in both houses of the Legislature. Otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2011.
Methodology
The Comptroller of Public Accounts 2012-13 Biennial Revenue Estimate and records were used to estimate the fiscal impact of the bill. Currently the fees referenced in the bill are deposited to General Revenue Fund 0001 although current law references GR AccountFire Protection (this GR Account was abolished through funds consolidation legislation, which resulted in the fee collections being deposited to Fund 0001). The bill's provisions would re-create GR AccountFire Protection, and re-direct all of the fee collections to the GR Account. The Comptroller of Public Accounts 2012-13 Biennial Revenue Estimate and agency records were used to estimate the fiscal impacts of the bill.
