FISCAL NOTE, 79TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 25, 2005

TO:	Honorable Fred Hill, Chair, House Committee on Local Government Ways & Means
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HJR98 by Menendez (Proposing a constitutional amendment to allow library districts to impose property taxes.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated, other than the cost of publication.

The cost to the state for publication of the resolution is $66,497.

The resolution would propose a constitutional amendment to the Texas Constitution to allow the Legislature to authorize library districts to impose an ad valorem tax on property located in the district.  The proposed amendment alone would have no fiscal impact on the state or units of local government.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
