FISCAL NOTE, 85TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 1, 2017

TO:
Honorable Drew Darby, Chair, House Committee on Energy Resources
 
FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB642 by Phillips (Relating to the name of the Railroad Commission of Texas.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Natural Resources Code to change the name of the Railroad Commission to the Texas Energy Commission.  In this analysis it is assumed that changing the agency's name would have no significant fiscal implication as the Commission could phase in the change over time using existing resources.

Local Government Impact

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