FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB1161 by Geren (Relating to local regulation of distance requirements for businesses selling alcoholic beverages near certain establishments.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would authorize a school board to petition the county commissioners court or the governing board of an incorporated city or town in which the school district is located to adopt a 1,000-foot zone in which the sale of alcohol is prohibited.
Local Government Impact
A school board, county commissioners court, or incorporated city or town would incur administrative costs related to actions necessary to establish an alcohol sales-free zone; however, those costs could be absorbed within existing resources. No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
