Honorable Tommy Merritt, Chair, House Committee on Public Safety
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB4541 by Raymond (Relating to the transfer of certain state property from the State of Texas, acting by and through the Texas Department of Public Safety, to Webb County.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would provide for the transfer of a specific piece of property, owned by the state, to Webb County. The bill requires that the property be used in a way that benefits the public interest and be returned to the state when its use no longer benefits the public interest. The bill specifies that these conditions must be included in the instrument of transfer. If it does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, the bill would take effect on September 1, 2009. This analysis assumes that the bill would pose no significant fiscal impact to the state.
Local Government Impact
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.
