IN RE:
SB1831 by Menéndez (Relating to the designation of a portion of State Highway 151 as the Specialist Dane Balcon Memorial Bridge.), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted
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 the State Highway 151 bridge at Westover Hills in Bexar County as the Specialist Dane Balcon Memorial Bridge, subject to Section 225.021 (c), Transportation Code.
Section 225.021 (c), Transportation Code, specifies that TxDOT is not required to 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 information provided by 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.
