Honorable Garnet Coleman, Chair, House Committee on County Affairs
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB3731 by Coleman (Relating to the creation of and sales and use taxes imposed by county assistance districts.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Local Government Code regarding procedures for the creation and functions of a county assistance district and would repeal subsections that relate to changing the sales and use tax rate for the district.
Local Government Impact
The bill would provide a savings to a district by removing requirements for holding certain elections. There would still be costs incurred with holding hearings that would be required by provisions of the bill, but those costs would be far less than the costs of an election.
