IN RE:
HB1968 by Deshotel (Relating to the transfer of certain state property from the Texas Juvenile Justice Department to Jefferson County.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill requires the Texas Juvenile Justice Department to donate and transfer ownership of real property located in Jefferson County to the county. Jefferson County is required to use the property for a purpose that benefits the public interest of the state. It is assumed that the transfer of ownership would result in an indeterminate amount of General Revenue savings from elimination of maintenance costs associated with the property. It is assumed that implementing the provisions of the bill would not constitute a significant fiscal impact to the State. The bill would take effect on September 1, 2013.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
