FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

May 31, 2009

TO:	Honorable Joe Straus, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HR2969 by Callegari (Suspending limitations on conference committee jurisdiction, H.B. No. 3526.)

Estimated Two-year Net Impact to General Revenue Related Funds for HB3526, Conference Committee Report: a negative impact of ($1,000,000) through the biennium ending August 31, 2011.

The resolution adds language regarding a rainwater harvesting demonstration matching grants program to HB 3526.

This estimate assumes that that the Legislature would appropriate $500,000 in each fiscal year out of the General Revenue Fund for the 2010-11 biennium. Based on information received by the TWDB, this could support two demonstration projects per year ranging in size from 30,000 to 175,000 gallons of storage. If the Legislature would not provide an appropriation for this purpose, then the bill would not result in significant fiscal impact to the state.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
