FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 14, 2009

TO:	Honorable John Carona, Chair, Senate Committee on Transportation & Homeland Security
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB2295 by Lucio (Relating to the minimum change interval at an intersection at which a photographic traffic monitoring system is in use.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Transportation Code to establish that the minimum allowable yellow change interval duration for a traffic signal at an intersection at which a photographic traffic monitoring system is in use must be the maximum allowable interval in accordance with the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

Local Government Impact

If all such intersections are in compliance there would be no fiscal impact to a unit of local government. However, if changes are required to meet the maximum put forth in the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, the costs would vary depending on the number of signals that require adjusting.
