IN RE:
HB442 by Muñoz, Jr. (Relating to the recognition of a portion of U.S. Highway 83 as a memorial to Trooper Eduardo Chavez.), As Engrossed

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 portion of U.S. Highway 83 in Starr County as the Trooper Eduardo Chavez Memorial Highway, subject to Section 225.021 (c), Transportation Code.
 
Section 225.021 (c), 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 information 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.
