| TO: | Honorable David Swinford, Chair, House Committee on Government Reform |
| FROM: | John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
| IN RE: | HB2758 by Swinford (Relating to the use of fuel-saving technologies by certain state agency vehicles.), As Introduced |
The bill would add a new section to the Government Code, relating to cost-effective fuel-savings for state agencies.
The bill would require a state agency with 10 or more motor vehicles or non-road diesels to reduce the total fuel consumption of the vehicles or diesels by at least 5 percent from fiscal year 2002 consumption levels through cost-effective fuel saving technologies.
The bill could have the effect of reducing agency fuel consumption and fuel costs. However, costs associated with purchasing and installing fuel-saving technology may offset the fuel consumption savings, which would result in a minimal net fiscal impact to agencies and the state.
