Fiscal Analysis

Article 10 would abolish the State Aircraft Pooling Board (Board) and transfer the responsibilities to the Texas Department of Transportation.  The article would appropriate $3,741,068 for fiscal year 2004 and $3,660,494 in fiscal year 2005 from the state highway fund.


Methodology

The transfer of the Aircraft Pooling Board functions to the Department of Transportation would result in an appropriation of  $3,741,068 in fiscal year 2004 and $3,660,494 in fiscal year 2005 from the state highway fund.  It is assumed that related receipts from charges to other state agencies that are deposited in the state highway fund would offset costs.  The article also appropriates any State Aircraft Pooling Board unexpended balances from the 2003-04 biennium to the Department of Transportation.  The General Appropriations Act, 78th Legislature, Regular Session does not appropriate these balances.  The estimated amount of these balances is $890,000 in appropriated receipts.  In addition, 39 full-time equivalent positions would be added to the Department of Transportation in fiscal year 2004. 


Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
