LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE 74th Regular Session April 5, 1995 TO: Honorable John T. Montford, Chair IN RE: Senate Bill No. 536 Committee on Finance By: Rosson Senate Austin, Texas FROM: John Keel, Director In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on Senate Bill No. 536 (Relating to providing certain entities relief from the local share requirement of a program providing state or federal matching funds.) 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 a state agency, to the extent allowed by federal law and the state constitution, to provide relief to an entity from the local share requirement of a program offering state or federal matching funds if the entity applies for relief and the agency determines that the applicant qualifies for hardship status. Fiscal implications would be dependent upon the extent to which local entities seek relief and cannot be determined. The fiscal implication to the State or units of local government cannot be determined. Source: Governor - Fiscal LBB Staff: JK, ML, DF
