Honorable Kevin Bailey, Chair, House Committee on Urban Affairs
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB559 by Noriega, Rick (Relating to a request for a public hearing before requiring the abatement of certain nuisances.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Section 683.074(b)(2), Transportation Code, by changing the requirements associated with holding a public hearing before removing a public nuisance. Under current statute, a public hearing is required prior to removal of the nuisance; under the proposed legislation, a public hearing would be required only on request of a person who receives notice the nuisance must be abated and removed.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
