LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION April 19, 2021 TO: Honorable Terry Canales, Chair, House Committee on Transportation FROM: Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE: HB1367 by Israel (Relating to the exemption from registration fees of certain vehicles used by nonprofit disaster relief organizations.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend Transportation Code 504.454 to exempt a vehicle owned by a nonprofit disaster relief organization from vehicle registration fees if the vehicle is used by the organization exclusively for emergencies, training, equipment maintenance, transportation of disaster relief supplies, or other activities related to disaster relief.Under current law, a vehicle owned by a nonprofit disaster relief organization is exempt from registration fees if the vehicle is used exclusively for emergencies. Implementation of the bill would expand the eligible uses and, potentially, the number of vehicles owned by a nonprofit disaster relief organization that would be exempt from registration fees. Based on the information and analysis provided by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, it is assumed the number of additional disaster relief organization vehicles the would qualify for the exemption would not be significant. Therefore, it is assumed implementation of the bill would not result in a significant negative impact to state and local vehicle registration fee revenues. Local Government ImpactNo significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
