FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 18, 2011

TO:
Honorable Larry Phillips, Chair, House Committee on Transportation
 
FROM:
John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB3730 by Martinez, "Mando" (Relating to the department of transportation's privatization of maintenance contracts.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend Section 223.042 of the Transportation Code to authorize the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to award a maintenace contract as a purchase of service under Subtitle D, Title 10, Government Code, in alignment with rules adopted by the Comptroller regarding the delegation of purchasing authority to state agencies.

Based on the analysis of TxDOT, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.


Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
