IN RE:	HB2621 by Isett, Carl (Relating to the preservation, maintenance, and restoration of certain state buildings by the Texas Historical Commission.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

This bill would transfer the responsibility for preserving, maintaining, and restoring five state historical properties located in the Capitol Complex, from the Texas Building and Procurement Commission to the Texas Historical Commission. The affected buildings include: Gethsemane Church; Luther Hall; the El Rose Building; the Christianson-Leberman Building; and the Carrington- Covert House. Any new expenditure by the Historical Commission to accomplish these activities is assumed to be offset by an equivalent reduction in spending by the Building and Procurement Commission.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
