LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE 75th Regular Session April 21, 1997 TO: Honorable Eddie Lucio, Jr., Chair IN RE: Senate Bill No. 1425 Committee on Intergovernmental Relations By: Nelson Senate Austin, Texas FROM: John Keel, Director In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SB1425 ( Relating to approval by voters of the establishment of certain county development districts.) this office has detemined the following: Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SB1425-As Introduced No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. This bill could result in increased confirmation election costs to county development districts, since the bill would require a commissioner precinct-wide election, rather than an election confined to the voters living in a district with fewer than 100 registered voters. Increased election costs would depend on the number of additional residents that would be included in an election. The median cost of a local election has been calculated at $.40 per resident, based on data collected in a survey conducted by the Texas Association of Counties in December 1996.
