following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB2868-As Introduced

A county choosing to prepare and coordinate a county master 
drainage plan could incur costs associated with staff time devoted 
to the project, consulting fees, and publication costs.

Brazoria 
County estimates that the preparation and coordination of a 
master drainage plan would not result in significant costs to 
that county, since it is anticipated that such a project would 
only be undertaken if the majority of funds required were available 
from grant programs.
