IN RE:
SB374 by Jackson, Mike (Relating to the repeal of the statutory provision regarding the adoption and use by the Texas Water Development Board of a capital spending plan for certain state-funded water-related programs under the board's jurisdiction.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would repeal Water Code, Section 6.110, which requires the Wate Development Board to prepare a Capital Spending Plan to be submitted to the Legilsltive Budget Board and Governor by January 1 of each odd numbered year. Although the agency would experience some cost savings as a result of this requirement being removed, that savings is not expected to be significant.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
