The bill would amend the Government Code and the Occupations Code relating to the continuation and functions of the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA). The bill would continue TDHCA for 12 years.
Based on information provided by the TDHCA, the Sunset Advisory Commission, State Office of Administrative Hearings, and the Department of Public Safety, it is assumed that duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.
The Texas Municipal League reported that there would be some costs to cities to give notice and hold hearings; however, fiscal impact would not be significant.
The Texas Association of Counties reported that Brazos County and Harris County anticipate no significant fiscal impact.
