TO: | Honorable Mike Krusee, Chair, House Committee on Transportation |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB2986 by Hill (Relating to the issuance of commercial paper notes by certain regional transportation authorities.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend Section 452.352 of the Transportation Code to specify that the requirements under subsection (b) regarding bonds issued by certain regional transportation authorities would not apply to certain commercial paper notes. Subsection (b) requires an election before issuing certain bonds; therefore, provisions of the bill would authorize a regional transportation authority to issue certain commercial paper notes without first having to hold an election to obtain voter approval.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2007.
