FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
May 1, 2013

TO:
Honorable Robert Duncan, Chair, Senate Committee on State Affairs
 
FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
SB1918 by Campbell (Relating to certain regulatory requirements placing expiration dates on land development permits and the use of land conveyed to the state or a political subdivision for a public purpose.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend Chapter 245 of the Local Government Code to provide that a regulatory agency may not enforce an ordinance, rule, or regulation that places an expiration date on a permit if certain conditions are met. If an owner of a contiguous tract of land conveys five percent or more of the land to the state or to a political subdivision for a public purpose, the remaining land would be deemed a project in progress and not subject to an expiration date.
 
The General Land Office (GLO) indicated no fiscal impact to the GLO is anticipated.

Local Government Impact

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