Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code to establish the trafficked persons program account as a General Revenue-Dedicated Account and require the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to administer the account. HHSC would also be required to submit a report on the needs to establish safe housing for youth who are victims of trafficking. The bill would amend Government Code to allow a person to contribute to the trafficked persons program when the person makes an electronic payment to the state. The bill would amend Transportation Code by allowing individuals to make a voluntary contribution to the General Revenue-Dedicated Account when registering a vehicle or renewing a vehicle registration, applying for or renewing a driver's license or identification card, and applying for or renewing a commercial driver's license. In addition, the bill would authorize the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to produce and make available to the public specialty license plates. After deduction for DMV administrative costs, DMV would deposit the remainder of the issuance fee in the account created by the bill.

Methodology
This analysis assumes, based on other specialty license plates, that 200.0 of the Stop Human Trafficking specialty license plate would be sold in fiscal year 2022, and assumes a 1.5 percent growth rate for each subsequent fiscal year. From each $30.00 specialty license plate fee, $22.00 would be distributed to the new General Revenue-Dedicated Account, $7.50 distributed to the DMV, and $0.50 distributed to local government for administrative costs. The cost of the grant program would be offset by specialty license plate fee retained in the new General Revenue-Dedicated account as well as any additional voluntary donations, which are assumed to total $50,000 in fiscal year 2022 and increase each subsequent fiscal year. It is assumed that the Office of Court Administration, the Secretary of State, the Department of Public Safety, the Department of Motor Vehicles, the Department of Information Resources, and HHSC could absorb other costs associated with implementing the provisions of the bill.
