FISCAL NOTE, 80TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 12, 2007

TO:	Honorable John Carona, Chair, Senate Committee on Transportation & Homeland Security
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB735 by Hegar (Relating to the conversion of a two-way frontage road to a one-way frontage road by the Texas Department of Transportation.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Transportation Code to specify that the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) may not convert a frontage road that provides for two-way movement of traffic to a frontage road that provides for one-way movement of traffic if the commissioners court of the county in which the frontage road is located adopts a motion or order objecting to the conversion and files a copy of the motion or order with the district engineer for the applicable TxDOT district.

Based on the analysis of TxDOT, it is assumed the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant fiscal impact to the state.

The bill would take effect immediately upon receiving a vote of two-thirds of all members elected to each house or otherwise on September 1, 2007.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
