The bill would expand the Texas Department of Transportation Conditional Grant Program to include women, include occupations other than civil engineering, allow for the expenditure of funds for the program from the State Highway Fund and require that no less than $400,000 in conditional grants be issued by the Department annually. 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 State Highway Fund 006 1996 $200,000 1997 200,000 1998 200,000 1999 200,000 2000 200,000 Similar annual fiscal implications would continue as long as the provisions of the bill are in effect. No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. Source: Department of Transportation LBB Staff: JK, ML, DF
