IN RE:
HB3442 by Cook (Relating to the Fairfield Hospital District.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
This bill would amend the Special District Laws Code relating to the Fairfield Hospital District. It specifies certain procedures to be followed relating to elections raising the maximum tax rate for the district.
The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of each house. If the bill does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, it would take effect September 1, 2017.
Local Government Impact
According to Freestone County, the bill would have no fiscal impact on the county's finances.
According to the Comptroller of Public Accounts, the bill would have no fiscal impact on other units of local government. The impact on Freestone County cannot be estimated, and would depend on whether an election would take place and what change in tax rate would be approved.
