Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB1286 by Johnson (Relating to the designation of a state trade representative.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Government Code to require the governor to designate a state trade representative in the office of the governor. The bill would require certain qualifications in order to be designated the state trade representative and would require certain duties of the state trade representative.
The Office of the Governor estimates there would be a minimal cost associated with implementing the provisions of the bill.
This bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of each house; if not, it will take effect on September 1, 2013.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
