Summary
HB 29 is one of several bills by Rep. Berman which is directed at addressing illegal immigration in Texas. The bill imposes an 8% fee on trans-national money transfers specifically to Mexico and Latin America.
Day Laborers from Mexico and Central America send millions of dollars back to their families in their home countries each year. Rep. Berman says the fee would be used to off-set the costs associated with illegal immigrants.
The bill provides that legal residents can apply for a rebate to reclaim the fee they pay.
