LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 77th Regular Session May 11, 2001 TO: Honorable J.E. "Buster" Brown, Chair, Senate Committee on Natural Resources FROM: John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE: HB2806 by Kitchen (Relating to disconnection of natural gas service.), As Engrossed ************************************************************************** * No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. * ************************************************************************** Local Government Impact If a municipal gas corporation operates a gas utility and cannot disconnect service under certain circumstances even though a customer has not paid the bill, there could be a revenue loss if the individual does not eventually make payment. The total loss would vary by municipality and would be less significant under House Bill 2806, as substituted than House Bill 2806, because the temperature at which the gas company must provide services, regardless of payment, is lower in House Bill 2806, as substituted.
