TO:
Honorable Rodney Ellis, Chair, Senate Committee on Government Organization
 
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB2620 by Isett, Carl (Relating to state facility management and maintenance practices.), As Engrossed

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

This bill would implement recommendations 1 and 2 of the LBB Government Effectiveness and Efficiency Report entitled "Improve State Facility Management and Maintenance Practices."

The bill would require the Texas Building and Procurement Commission to undertake four specific facility management and maintenance activities to ensure the state's building inventory remains in acceptable condition at the lowest possible cost. The bill requires the Texas Building and Procurement Commission to (1) establish a preventative maintenance program, (2) enter into energy savings performance contracts, (3) establish property specific maintenance budgets, and (4) enter into service level agreements with tenant agencies. These activities can be accomplished given existing resources and appropriation levels.


Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
