LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD
Austin, Texas
 
FISCAL NOTE, 80TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
March 19, 2007

TO:
Honorable Sid Miller, Chair, House Committee on Agriculture & Livestock
 
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB2345 by Anderson (Relating to the creation of the Texas Organic Agricultural Industry Advisory Board.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill creates a Texas Organic Agricultural Industry Advisory Board.  The bill specifies that service on the board is considered an additional duty of the members' office or employment and therefore does not provide for either compensation or reimbursement of board-related duties.  The bill does state that the Department of Agriculture (TDA) would provide administrative support to the board.  TDA, however, anticipates being able to absorb any costs associated with those administrative duties within existing resources. 

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
