LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD

FISCAL NOTE
75th Regular Session
April 1, 1997
TO: Honorable Warren Chisum, Chair IN RE: House Bill No. 3231
Committee on Environmental Regulation By: Swinford
House
Austin, Texas
FROM: John Keel, Director
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on HB3231 ( Relating
to the consolidation and use of certain accounts and funds of
the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission.) this office
has detemined the following:
Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB3231-As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would consolidate, rename and and repeal certain funds
administered by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission
(TNRCC).
No action of the bill would create additional revenue
or change existing statutory dedications. Revenue dedicated
for a particular purpose before August 31, 1997 would not be
authorized for another purpose by the provisions of the bill
after August 31, 1997, although some revenue may be reallocated
to a nominally different account.
The bill would allow appropriations
made by the 75th Legislature, Regular Session, out of an existing
fund which is abolished or consolidated by the bill to be made
out of the fund or account which is provided for by the provisions
of the bill. The bill would take effect September, 1, 1997.
The
bill does not create, repeal, or alter any state-imposed tax
or fee, therefore there would be no fiscal impact on revenue
collections. However, some efficiencies should be gained by
the TNRCC due to streamlining the number of accounts which have
to be maintained and allocated through the financial system.
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
