         Austin, Texas









FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on Senate Bill No.
584 (relating to the authority of Dallas County Utility and
Reclamation District to  enter into tax abatement agreements, to
designate reinvestment zones and to utilize all functions and
procedures of the Property Redevelopment and Tax Abatement Act,
Title 3, Ch. 312 of the Texas Tax code; and validating prior
elections and other actions and contracts) this office has
determined the following:

The bill would grant Dallas County Utility and Reclamation
District the authority to enter into tax abatement agreements. 
The bill would enable the governing body of the District to
designate an area within its boundries and a  reinvestment zone.

The bill would confer upon the District and its governing body
all the rights, powers, and authority granted to a municipality
that are listed in the Tax Abatement Act.

Under the current Education Code, there would be no fiscal
implication to the State as a result of local tax abatement
agreements granted by a district.

The impact on local governments would depend on the actions of
the local official and cannot be determined.
