John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB3581 by Howard, Charlie (Relating to county authority to abate nuisances.), As Passed 2nd House
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code to specify that included in the costs that a county may assess for abating a nuisance would be all costs of management, remediation, storage, transportation, disposal, damages, or other expenses incurred by the county.
Local Government Impact
The positive fiscal impact would vary depending on what costs would otherwise have been incurred by the county if the county could not assess those costs on the person responsible for the nuisance.
