LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD
Austin, Texas
 
FISCAL NOTE, 80TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
May 1, 2007

TO:
Honorable Craig Estes, Chair, Senate Committee on S/C on Ag., Rural Affairs & Coastal Resources
 
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB1009 by Escobar (Relating to the use of state hotel occupancy tax revenue to clean and maintain beaches in certain municipalities.), As Engrossed

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend Sec 156.2512 of the Tax Code, relating to the use of state hotel occupancy tax revenue to clean and maintain beaches in certain municipalities.

Under current law, only South Padre Island qualifies for the allocation and based on the amended definitions set forth by the bill, South Padre Island would remain the only municipality qualifying for the allocation.

The bill would take effect immediately upon enactment, if it receives two-thirds majority votes in each house; otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2007.


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.
