FISCAL NOTE, 80TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
May 17, 2007

TO:
Honorable Royce West, Chair, Senate Committee on Intergovernmental Relations
 
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB3581 by Howard, Charlie (Relating to county authority to abate nuisances.), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted

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.
