FISCAL NOTE, 84TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 3, 2015

TO:	Honorable Robert Nichols, Chair, Senate Committee on Transportation
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB45 by Zaffirini (Relating to the designation of a portion of Interstate Highway 37 as the Trooper Terry Wayne Miller Memorial Highway.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to design, construct, and erect highway markers designating a portion of Interstate Highway 37 as the Trooper Terry Wayne Miller Memorial Highway, subject to Section 225.021 (c), Transportation Code.

 

Section 225.021 (c), Transportation Code, specifies that TxDOT may not design, construct, or erect the marker unless a grant or donation of funds is made to the department to cover the cost. Based on the analysis of TxDOT, it is assumed any duties associated with the implementation of the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within the agency's existing resources.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
