LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD
Austin, Texas
 
FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 21, 2011

TO:
Honorable Troy Fraser, Chair, Senate Committee on Natural Resources
 
FROM:
John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB125 by Legler (Relating to the regulatory analysis of rules proposed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to perform a “regulatory analysis” for all environmental rules, as that term is defined in the bill.

The TCEQ reports that it already completes work to satisfy most of the bill's requirements. Any additional workload required by the bill is not expected to be significant and could be absorbed using existing agency resoures. 


Local Government Impact

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