LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION May 13, 2013 TO: Honorable John Whitmire, Chair, Senate Committee on Criminal Justice FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB1020 by Reynolds (Relating to the certification of alcohol awareness programs required for minors convicted of or receiving deferred disposition for certain alcohol offenses.), As Engrossed No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend Chapter 106 of the Alcoholic Beverage Code relating to the certification of alcohol awareness programs required for minors convicted of or receiving deferred disposition for certain alcohol offenses. The bill would amend the statute to update the agency authorized to approve alchol awareness programs to remove the former agency name of Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (TCADA) and replace it with the Department of State Health Services (DSHS). The bill would clarify that the alcohol awareness program is approved by DSHS or the Texas Education Agency (TEA). DSHS indicates that implementation of the bill would not change current practice and thus could be implemented within existing resources. Based on the analysis provided by TEA, it is assumed that the provisions of the bill can be implemented within existing resources. As the statutory change pertains to offenses not prosecuted in state courts, no significant fiscal impact is anticipated to the Office of Court Administration. The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of each house; otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2013. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
