Austin, Texas

FISCAL NOTE, 79TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

February 7, 2005

TO:	Honorable Robert Talton, Chair, House Committee on Urban Affairs
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB65 by McClendon (Relating to the authority of certain municipalities to designate and enforce drug-free zones.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would authorize a municipality with a population of more than 1.1 million in a county with a population of less than 1.4 million to designate and enforce drug-free zones.  The bill would take effect immediately if it receives the requisite two-thirds votes in each house; otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2005.

According to the 2000 federal census, the population parameters of the bill apply only to the city of San Antonio.

Local Government Impact

Because the bill would not have statewide impact on units of local government of the same type or class, no comment from this office is required by the rules of the House/Senate as to its probable fiscal implication on units of local government.
