Honorable Ray Allen, Chair, House Committee on County Affairs
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB1628 by Brown, Betty (Relating to the authority of certain counties to enact noise regulations; providing a criminal penalty.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would authorize certain counties to enact noise regulations and would establish that a violation of those regulations would be a Class C misdemeanor. Based on the two most recent federal decennial censuses, the parameters of the bill would apply only to Kaufman County.
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.
