Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB1654 by Watson (Relating to the electronic transmission of a notice of toll nonpayment by the Texas Department of Transportation.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Transportation Code to authorize the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to provide an electronic notification, rather than a notification sent by first class mail, to a registered owner of a vehicle for the purposes of video toll billing and collection.
Based on the information provided by TxDOT, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within the agency's current resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
