         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on HB1871 ( Relating 
to the movement of portable building units and compatible cargo 
over a state highway.) this office has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB1871-Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
         
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 
The bill would allow cargo compatible with portable building 
units to be transported under a permit issued for the portable 
building unit. Currently, a general single-trip permit is required 
to transport compatible cargo, in addition to the portable building 
permit. The Texas Department of Transportation would collect 
an amount equal to any fee that would apply to the cargo's movement 
in a manner not governed under the bill's provisions. 
          
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
