Honorable Robert Puente, Chair, House Committee on Natural Resources
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB3774 by Puente (Relating to the performance standards for plumbing fixtures sold in this state.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would prohibit the sale, distribution, or importation of a plumbing fixture not certified by a third-party product certification program accredited by the American National Standards Institute. The bill would also require the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to adopt water saving performance standards for plumbing fixtures. Any increase in workload resulting from passage of the bill is expected to be absorbed within the TCEQ's existing budget.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
