Honorable Terry Canales, Chair, House Committee on Transportation
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB3956 by Kuempel (Relating to an optional county fee on vehicle registration in certain counties to be used for transportation projects.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Transportation Code §502.402 to authorize an additional county to impose an optional county fee on a vehicle registration to fund transportation projects.
The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles reports that the bill would not result in a fiscal impact to the agency or the State.
Local Government Impact
It is assumed implementation of the bill would result in a revenue gain in Guadalupe county if the county were to meet the requirements of Transportation Code §502.402 to impose the optional fee. Under current law, the revenue collected from the optional county fee must be sent to a regional mobility authority located in the county to fund long-term transportation projects in the county.
