LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION April 12, 2021 TO: Honorable Greg Bonnen, Chair, House Committee on Appropriations FROM: Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE: HB3294 by Bell, Cecil (Relating to funding for the Texas emissions reduction plan.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Transportation Code to change deposit of remitted title fees from the Texas Mobility Fund (TMF) to the Texas Emission Reduction Plan Fund (TERP) and the bill would direct the Texas Department of Transportation to transfer an equal amount from the State Highway Fund (SHF) to the TMF.Under current law, beginning September 1, 2021, title fees are deposited to the TMF, and the TERP Fund located outside of the treasury is credited, through legislative appropriation, an equal amount from the SHF each month. This estimate assumes motor vehicle title fees would be deposited directly to the TERP fund outside the treasury and the transfer from the SHF to TMF would remain entirely within the treasury. Since the bill would just adjust transfers that are pre-existing, no significant fiscal impact to the state is anticipated.The bill would have no net fiscal effect between the TMF, SHF, and TERP fund.For informational purposes, the Comptroller's Biennial Revenue Estimate anticipates that title fees will generate $154,946,000 in FY 2022 and $157,270,000 in FY 2023. Local Government ImpactNo significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
