No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Provisions of the bill would apply only to a county with a population of 3.2 million or more. According to the 2000 federal census, only Harris County meets the population criteria.
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.
