FISCAL NOTE, 80TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 30, 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.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

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 convert a frontage road from two-way traffic to one-way traffic unless there is no corresponding frontage road on the opposite side of the associated highway or a motion or order objecting to the converstion is adopted and filed by the affected county or governing body of a city.

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.
