LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION April 16, 2013 TO: Honorable Robert Nichols, Chair, Senate Committee on Transportation FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:SB1664 by Nichols (Relating to commercial driver's licenses and commercial learner's permits and the operation of commercial motor vehicles; creating an offense.), As Introduced An indeterminate amount of revenue is anticpated as the result of the provisions of the bill. The bill would amend the Transportation Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure to revise the definitions of "commercial learner's" and "commercial driver's" licenses to be in compliance with rules and regulations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The bill would change the reference of "nonresident" license holder or learner's permit holder to "nondomiciled" license holder or learner's permit holder. The bill would also raise the fee for the issuance or renewal of commercial learner's permit holder from $20 to $24 and would add penalties for violations in the use of a commercial learner's permit. The bill would also add a $60 fee for the administration of a skills test to a non-domiciled person seeking a commercial driver license. Presumably the provisions of the bill would positively impact state revenues. However, the Comptroller has noted that because the information upon which to base an estimate of the number of persons who would apply for a commercial learner's permit is not available, the fiscal impact of the bill is indeterminate. The bill would take effect September 1, 2013, except as otherwise provided. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
