The provisions of the bill would amend the Transportation Code by including assistance with "equipment" among the ways the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) may assist counties to repair and maintain county roads. Currently TxDOT provides materials to the counties.
The provisions of the bill specify that Chapter 2175, Government Code (Surplus and Salvage Property), would not apply to the distribution of assistance by TxDOT to counties to repair and maintain county roads.
The bill would take effect immediately upon enactment, assuming that it received the requisite two-thirds majority votes in both houses of the Legislature. Otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2005.
Based on the Building and Procurement Commission (TBPC) data, the calculations assume a 100 percent loss of TxDOT surplus revenue to General Revenue, as the provisions of the bill allows for counties to obtain a minimum of $6 million in materials and equipment, which is more than TxDOT sells annually in surplus property.
The estimated revenue for fiscal year 2005 is based on the average monthly sales for September 2004 through February 2005. The revenue loss to Appropriated Receipts reflects the loss of the TBPC purchaser fee (used to fund the operation of the program) associated with the sales of TxDOT surplus property. The fiscal year 2005 estimated purchaser fee is based on the average monthly purchaser fee revenues for September 2004 through February 2005. The increase to Appropriated Receipts reflects the fact the program would reduce its expenditures by the same amount.
