LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD

Austin, Texas

FISCAL NOTE, 78TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

Revision 1

May 20, 2003

TO:	Honorable Rick Hardcastle, Chair, House Committee on Agriculture & Livestock
FROM:	John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB1828 by Averitt (Relating to the composition and duties of the State Soil and Water Conservation Board.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would add two members to the Soil and Water Conservation Board. It would also require the state auditor in coordination with the Legislative Budget Board to perform an audit and submit a report to the governor, lieutenant governor, and the speaker of the house of representatives not later than March 1, 2004.

There would likely be some additional travel and per diem costs for the additional board members. It is expected that these costs would not be significant, and that the Soil and Water Conservation Board could absorb additional costs using existing staff and resources.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
