TO: Honorable Rodney Ellis, Chair IN RE: House Bill No. 943,
Committee on Intergovernmental as engrossed
Relations By: Turner,
Senate Sylvester
Austin, Texas
FROM: John Keel, Director
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
943 (Relating to performance audits of certain metropolitan
transit authorities.) this office has determined the following:
The bill would make no appropriation but could provide the legal
basis for an appropriation of funds to implement the provisions
of the bill.
The bill would allow the Comptroller of Public Accounts to audit
certain metropolitan transit authorities in cities with
populations of more than $1.2 million. The audits could be
performed once every two years.
The probable fiscal implication of implementing the provisions of
the bill during each of the first five years following passage
is estimated as follows:
Fiscal Probable Cost Out
Year of General
Revenue
Fund 001
1996 $250,000
1997 0
1998 250,000
1999 0
2000 250,000
Similar annual fiscal implications would continue as long as the
provisions of the bill are in effect.
The fiscal implication to units of local government cannot be
determined.
