Austin, Texas

FISCAL NOTE, 80TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

Revision 1

May 9, 2007

TO:	Honorable Kip Averitt, Chair, Senate Committee on Natural Resources
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1565 by Puente (Relating to the governing body, boundaries, and functions of the Bexar Metropolitan Water District.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require the Sunset Commission to review the Board of Directors of the Bexar Metropolitan Water District, but does not subject the entity to abolishment. The review shall be conducted as if the Board of Directors were scheduled to be abolished September 1, 2010.  The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all members of each house.  Otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2007.

The Sunset Advisory Commission estimates the fiscal year 2010 costs associated with conducting the review would be $60,032 for staff and travel expenses.

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.
