 TO:     Honorable Edmund Kuempel, Chair        IN RE:  House Bill No. 1318

FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
1318 (Relating to an exemption from the sand and gravel
permitting process for disturbances of marl, sand, gravel, shell,
and mudshell entities under a water rights use permit for
noncommercial purposes.) this office has determined the
following:

The bill would exempt entities from the requirements of Chapter
86 of the Parks and Wildlife Code for disturbing or taking marl,
sand, gravel, shell and mudshell for noncommercial purposes when
such disturbances or takings occur while exercising a water
rights use permit.  This would result in a loss of application
fees for exempted activities, which would vary from year to year,
depending on which entities claim exemption under the bill.


No fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
