         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on HB2083 ( Relating 
to county auditors who serve more than one county.) this office 
has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB2083-As Introduced   FN Revision 1
         
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 
          
This bill would allow would extend provisions currently in effect 
for counties with populations of less than 25,000 to jointly 
employ the same county auditor for two or more counties to all 
counties except Harris County.  

This bill could result in 
a savings to counties which choose to share a county auditor 
with another county auditor.  Burnet and Llano Counties currently 
employ the same county auditor.  Burnet County estimates that 
this arrangement saves the county approximately $5,900 per year 
and Llano County estimates annual savings of approximately $2,600.
