LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD

Austin, Texas

FISCAL NOTE, 78TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 25, 2003

TO:	Honorable Rodney Ellis, Chair, Senate Committee on Government Organization
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.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

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 agency to perform an audit and submit a report to the Legislature.

There would likely be some additional travel and per diem costs for the additional board members. There would also be additional costs associated with the preparation of the audit and report required by the bill. 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.
