TO:
Honorable Dan Patrick, Lieutenant Governor, Senate
 
FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
SB1538 by Watson (Relating to the permissible uses of the floodplain management account.), As Passed 2nd House

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would expand the permissible uses of the Floodplain Management Fund 330 to include the collection and analysis of flood-related information; flood planning, protection, mitigation, or adaptation; the provision of flood-related information to the public; and the evaluation of responses to and mitigation of flood incidents affecting residential property.  Based on the analysis of the Texas Water Development Board and the Comptroller of Public Accounts, the bill would have no revenue implications and no significant fiscal impact.

Local Government Impact

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