LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD
Austin, Texas
 
FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
May 23, 2009

TO:
Honorable Joe Straus, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives
 
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB783 by Pickett (Relating to the liability of an electric utility that allows recreational use of land that the utility owns, occupies, or leases.), As Passed 2nd House

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would apply only to a public utility located in a county with a population of 600,000 or more and located on the international border or a municipal management district located in a municipality with a population of more than 1.9 million.


Local Government Impact

Based on the applicability criteria within the bill, it would affect a public utility located in El Paso County and a municipal management district located in the municipality of Houston.

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.
