Honorable Leo Berman, Chair, House Committee on Elections
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB3480 by Coleman (Relating to the authority of certain municipalities to impose term limits on the members of their governing bodies.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would add Section 26.047 to Subchapter C of Chapter 26, Local Government Code, regarding term limits in a municipality with a population of 1.8 million or more. Based on the 2000 U.S. census, the bill would apply only to the City of Houston.
Local Government Impact
Because the bill would not have statewide impact on units of local government of the same type or class, no comment from this office is required by the rules of the House/Senate as to its probable fiscal implication on units of local government.
