TO:
Honorable Brooks Landgraf, Chair, House Committee on Environmental Regulation

Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB200 by Landgraf (Relating to the prohibition on the transportation, storage, and disposal of high-level radioactive waste in certain areas.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would prohibit the importation, disposal, and storage of high-level radioactive waste in an area of Texas designated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) as a critical energy infrastructure zone. Based on the analysis of the Comptroller of Public Accounts and TCEQ, it is assumed that duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed with existing resources.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
