IN RE: | SB2534 by Wentworth (Relating to the creation of an interagency task force on economic growth and endangered species; providing information and direction regarding endangered species issues in certain areas of the state; making an appropriation.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
The bill would amend the Government Code and create a task force on economic development and endangered species and require that the Comptroller's Office provide administrative support. The Texas A&M University System would also be required to assist in the analysis of any biological and economic impacts. It is assumed that any additional costs associated with implementation of the bill could be absorbed within existing state resources.
