FISCAL NOTE, 78TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 3, 2003

TO:	Honorable Kenneth Armbrister, Chair, Senate Committee on Natural Resources
FROM:	John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1138 by Van Arsdale (Relating to nonprofit water supply and sewer service corporations in certain counties.), As Engrossed

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would provide additional powers to nonprofit water supply and sewer service corporations in all counties. The bill would take effect immediately if it receives two-thirds vote in each house; otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2003. 

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.

Under current statute, the additional powers are granted only to corporations in all counties except Harris County. The bill would remove the population bracket, making the powers apply to all nonprofit water supply and sewer service corporations. Nonprofit water supply and sewer service corporations are not a political subdivision.
