TO: | Honorable John Carona, Chair, Senate Committee on Transportation & Homeland Security |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | SB937 by Deuell (Relating to a memorial sign program for victims of certain vehicle accidents.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Transportation Code to require the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to establish and administer a memorial sign program to publicly memorialize the victims of alcohol or controlled substance-related vehicle accidents. The bill would require an application fee not to exceed $100 to be paid by persons participating in the program to help defray the costs of administering the program.
Based on the analysis of TxDOT, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.
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.
