IN RE:
HB2095 by Guillen (Relating to allowing certain counties with no incorporated territory to participate in programs designed to assist municipalities.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Local Government Code to authorize certain counties to participate as if they were a municipality in any federal or state program that provides grants, loans, or other assistance to municipalities.
Local Government Impact
The positive fiscal impact would vary by eligible county depending on whether the county receives a grant for which it applies and the amount of the grant.
