FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

Revision 1

April 8, 2011

TO:	Honorable Larry Taylor, Chair, House Committee on Elections
FROM:	John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB3082 by Isaac (Relating to the location of certain mobile voting stations.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Election Code to require a mobile voting station used in an early voting election for a bond proposition in a city or a school district located in a county with a population of more than one million to move around the territory in a manner to allow all voters similar access to the mobile voting station during the early voting period.

Local Government Impact

There could be costs to a local governmental entity to implement the provisions of the bill, but the amounts would vary.

Bexar County reported there would be no fiscal impact because the county currently does not have any mobile voting stations available.

Tarrant County reported that any costs associated with the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within the county’s existing resources.
