May 26, 2005

TO:	Honorable Tom Craddick, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB602 by Eissler (Relating to the designation of a weight enforcement officer by a commissioners court in certain counties. ), As Passed 2nd House

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend Chapter 621, Transportation Code, to authorize the county commissioners court in certain counties to designate a constable or deputy constable as a weight enforcement officer. The bill would take effect immediately if it receives two-thirds vote in each house; otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2005.

Local Government Impact

If a county commissioners court were to designate a constable or deputy constable as a weight enforcement officer, the county would incur the cost of training and certification for each person designated as such.

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
