TO: | Honorable Jim Pitts, Chair, House Committee on Appropriations |
FROM: | John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB2842 by Gallego (Relating to Internet posting by the Legislative Budget Board of certain budget documents.), As Introduced |
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would direct the Legislative Budget Board to post on the Internet all documents prepared by the board that are provided to a committee, subcommittee, or conference committee of either house of the legislature in connection with an appropriations bill. It is estimated that this responsibility could be performed using existing resources.
The bill's requirement to post on the Internet all documents prepared in connection with an appropriations bill may conflict with exemptions and privileges provided elsewhere under the law.
