TO:	Honorable Kenneth Armbrister, Chair, Senate Committee on Natural Resources
FROM:	John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB2654 by Farabee (Relating to clarification of certain exemptions from requirements of pipeline assessment and testing.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would exempt rural gathering from the Railroad Commission's rules on pipelines. Since these pipelines are already exempted by Commission rule, no impact to the agency is expected.

Local Government Impact

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