The bill would amend the Natural Resources Code to require the Veteran’s Land Board and the Texas Residential Construction Commission (TRCC) to maintain an electronic list and hard-copy list of registered builders who provide certain types of building services in Texas, as specified by the bill. The bill would require TRCC to contact all volume builders in Texas who do not provide building services to persons with mobility-related special needs, as specified in the bill, and encourage those builders to develop floor plans that are designed to be accessible for persons with mobility-related special needs.
The bill would take effect on September 1, 2007.
Based on the analysis of TRCC, it is assumed the commission would incur costs of $25,000 in fiscal year 2008 for programming and enhancements to the commission's builder database and an additional $4,000 each year thereafter for increased database mainenance. It is assumed any other costs associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within the commission's existing resources.
It is assumed the commission would assess or increase registration fees in an amount sufficient to recover any additional costs associated with implementing the provisions of the bill.
