LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 77th Regular Session January 20, 2001 TO: Honorable Frank Madla, Chair, Senate Committee on Intergovernmental Relations FROM: John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE: SB200 by Madla (Relating to state and regional coordination of planning and development for implementation of state programs.), As Introduced ************************************************************************** * No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. * ************************************************************************** The bill would require state agencies to coordinate planning with commissions for the orderly implementation of state programs at the regional level. The bill would take effect immediately. It is anticipated that costs associated with coordinating with local government would be absorbed by state agencies. The Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) reports that state agencies currently coordinate with councils of governments to facilitate programs for more efficient operation and to avoid duplication. The CPA reports that the fiscal impact cannot be determined because future programs that involve state agencies, council of governments, and local governments will vary. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. Source Agencies: 304 Comptroller of Public Accounts LBB Staff: JK, DB
