FISCAL NOTE, 78TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 9, 2003

TO:
Honorable Ron Wilson, Chair, House Committee on Ways & Means
 
FROM:
John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB2424 by McCall (Relating to technical changes to taxes and fees administered by the comptroller of public accounts.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated during the next five fiscal years.

Under current law, the provision granting a reduced tax rate on high-cost natural gas would not apply to wells spudded or completed after September 1, 2010.  The bill would extend the reduced tax rate to high-cost wells drilled after September 1, 2010.  This provision would result in a significant loss of state revenue beginning with that date.

Local Government Impact

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