IN RE:
HB3444 by Howard, Donna (Relating to eligibility of Emergency Service Districts to receive federal grants.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would add Section 775.086 to the Health and Safety Code to provide that emergency services districts (ESD) would be eligible to receive funds from any federal grants related to the purposes for which the district was created.
Local Government Impact
The positive fiscal impact would vary by ESD depending on federal grant availability and whether an ESD applies for and receives funds and, if so, in what amounts.
