Honorable Wayne Smith, Chair, House Committee on County Affairs
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB408 by Eissler (Relating to the regulation of barking dogs by certain counties as a nuisance.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would authorize certain counties to regulate barking dogs as a nuisance. Based on the 2000 U.S. Census, the population criteria in the bill apply to Fort Bend and Montgomery counties only.
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.
