TO: | Honorable Frank Madla, Chair, Senate Committee on Intergovernmental Relations |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | SB343 by Brimer (Relating to county authority to regulate the placement of water wells in unincorporated areas of the county; providing a penalty.), As Introduced |
The population requirement applies to Tarrant, Dallas, and Harris counties. The Dallas County budget office indicated costs and revenue gains that would result from implementing provisions of the bill would be insignificant. Harris County stated that it is located within the boundaries of the Harris-Galveston Coastal Subsidence District, and therefore the bill would not have a fiscal impact on the county. While no response was received from Tarrant County, it is assumed the fiscal impact would be similar to that in Dallas County.
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
