Austin, Texas

FISCAL NOTE, 78TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 19, 2003

TO:	Honorable Kenneth Armbrister, Chair, Senate Committee on Natural Resources
FROM:	John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB1058 by Lindsay (Relating to nonprofit water supply and sewer service corporations in certain counties.), As Introduced

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 within 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.
