John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB1688 by Watson (Relating to the creation, powers, and duties of a transportation infrastructure services district created by a municipality; imposing taxes and authorizing bonds.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would add Chapter 432 to Subtitle I, Title 6 of the Transportation Code to authorize the creation of a transportation infrastructure services district in an area located entirely in a county with a population of less than 1.3 million in which the principal municipality has a population of 600,000 or more and that meets other certain criteria. The bill would apply to Travis County only.
Local Government Impact
Because the bill would not have statewide impact on units of local government of the same type or class, no comment from this office is required by the rules of the House/Senate as to its probable fiscal implication on units of local government.
