FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 23, 2009

TO:	Honorable Joseph Pickett, Chair, House Committee on Transportation
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB2314 by Gattis (Relating to the designation of the Texas Department of Transportation as the contracting agent for certain airports.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Transportation Code to authorize an owner of an eligible airport to designate the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) as its agent in contracting for and supervising the planning, acquiring, constructing, improving, equipping, maintaining, or operating of an airport or air navigation facility.

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.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
