FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 27, 2009

TO:	Honorable Burt R. Solomons, Chair, House Committee on State Affairs
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.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

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.

Local Government Impact

Based on the applicability criteria within the bill, it would affect a public utility located in El Paso County only.

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.
