Committee Report (Substituted)



BACKGROUND 

The City of Austin will be opening the Austin Bergstrom International
Airport and closing the Mueller Airport, therefore it will be necessary
for the State Aircraft Pooling Board to relocate. 

PURPOSE

House Bill 2877 adds the relocation of the State Aircraft Pooling Board to
the list of specific projects authorized by the Legislature. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly grant any
additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency or
institution. 

SECTION BY SECTION ANALYSIS

SECTION 1. Section 24A of the Texas Public Finance Authority Act is
amended by adding two projects to the list of Specific Projects authorized
by the legislature and adjusting the corresponding estimated costs. Two
projects are added to allow facilities associated with relocation of the
State Aircraft Pooling Board and the acquisition and development of
acreage at Robert Mueller Municipal Airport for a state complex.  The
estimated cost of the State Board of Insurance Building in Travis County
is adjusted and the estimated costs of each new project are added. 

Other changes are to reflect the new name of the General Services
Commission and the appropriate renumbering of the other projects. 

SECTION 2. Emergency Clause.

COMPARISON OF ORIGINAL TO SUBSTITUTE

The Committee Substitute to HB 2877 adds the acquisition and development
of acreage at Robert Mueller Municipal Airport to the list of Specified
Projects authorized by the Legislature.  The Substitute also specifies an
adjusted estimated cost of the State Board of Insurance Building in Travis
County as well as specifies estimated costs of the facilities associated
with relocation of the State Aircraft Pooling Board and the acquisition
and development of acreage at Robert Mueller Municipal Airport for a state
complex.  Lastly, the other projects are appropriately renumbered.
