FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 27, 2011

TO:	Honorable Tommy Williams, Chair, Senate Committee on Transportation & Homeland Security
FROM:	John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB1562 by Williams (Relating to the designation of a segment of Texas State Highway 75 as the 75th Ranger Regiment Highway.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to design, construct, and erect highway markers designating a segment of State Highway 75 as the 75th Ranger Regiment Highway, subject to Section 225.021 (c), Transportation Code.

Section 225.021 (c) of the Transportation Code, specifies that TxDOT is not required to design, construct, or erect the marker unless a grant or donation of funds is made to the department to cover the cost. Based on the analysis provided by TxDOT, it is assumed any duties associated with the implementation of the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within the agency's existing resources.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
