FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 8, 2013

TO:	Honorable Larry Phillips, Chair, House Committee on Transportation
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB2921 by Orr (Relating to the addition of certain member counties to a regional tollway authority.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend Chapter 366 of the Transportation Code to provide that a county that is not part of an authority and in which a turnpike project is located or proposed to be located would become part of the authority on the date the construction begins or September 1, 2013. Under current statute, Chapter 366 only applies to the North Texas Tollway Authority.

The Texas Department of Transportation reported no fiscal impact is anticipated.

Local Government Impact

Because the bill would not have statewide impact on units of local government of the same type or class, no comment from this office is required by the rules of the House/Senate as to its probable fiscal implication on units of local government.
