FISCAL NOTE, 80TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 16, 2007

TO:	Honorable Kevin Bailey, Chair, House Committee on Urban Affairs
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB922 by Truitt (Relating to the power of a municipality to enforce compliance with speed limits by an automated traffic control system.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Transportation Code by prohibiting a municipality from implementing or operating an automated traffic control system to enforce speed limits on a highway under its jurisdiction. The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) would be responsible for enforcing this prohibition. The bill would take effect immediately if it were to receive the required two-thirds vote in each house; otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2007.

The OAG anticipates that any legal work resulting from passage of the bill could be reasonably absorbed with current resources

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
