IN RE:
HB463 by Springer (Relating to the ability to mow, bale, shred, or hoe material on a state highway right-of-way.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would repeal Section 202.059 (b) of the Transportation Code, which requires a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) District Engineer to notify property owners of a third party's request to mow, bail, shred or hoe material on state highway right of way adjacent to their property and to offer property owners the first right of refusal to mow, bail, shred, or hoe material on that right-of-way.
Based on the analysis provided by TxDOT, it is assumed the provisions of the bill not would result in a significant fiscal impact to the state.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
