IN RE:
HB3444 by Howard, Donna (Relating to the eligibility of emergency services districts to apply for or receive grants. ), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would add Section 775.079 to the Health and Safety Code to authorize emergency services districts (ESD) to apply for or receive grants for any district purpose.
Local Government Impact
The positive fiscal impact would vary by ESD depending on availability of grants and whether an ESD applies for and receives funds and, if so, in what amounts.
