Local Government Impact
  
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.

The bill would authorize a commissioners court to meet and conduct
business in a municipality other than the county seat. Expenses could be
incurred using meeting space other than what is normally available in
the county seat and per diem to travel to another municipality.
