The bill would amend Government Code to create the General Revenue-Dedicated Texas Historical Government Records Preservation Account to be administered by the agency to provide grants; require the the Library and Archives Commission to establish a historical government records preservation grant program, administer an emergency disaster recovery grant program, and provide records management and preservation training to local governments; and appropriate funding to the agency for the programs.
The bill also would amend Local Government Code to increase the fee for filing the first page of any document in the real property records of county clerks by $2.50, which the amended Government Code would require to be deposited in the Texas Historical Government Records Preservation Account.
Additionally, the bill would repeal the Library and Archives Commission's grants-in-aid program pertaining to aiding local governments in establishing records management programs or preserving historical local goverment records.
This analysis assumes that the entire amounts collected would be expended in each fiscal year. The analysis reflects projected revenue from the $2.50 fee increase for filing the first page of any document in the real property records of county clerks and the deposit of the collected fees into the General Revenue-Dedicated Texas Historical Government Records Preservation Account.
The estimate includes costs associated with 8 FTEs to implement and administer the programs established by the bill. It also includes costs related to providing emergency disaster recovery grant awards; historical government records preservation grant awards in an amount not less than 65 percent of the account in fiscal years 2007-2010; and records management and preservation training to local governments, as directed by the bill.
