John McGeady, Assistant Director Sarah Keyton, Assistant Director Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB440 by Murphy (Relating to general obligation bonds issued by political subdivisions.), As Passed 2nd House
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Government Code to place certain restrictions on the issuance of general obligation debt by political subdivisions and would authorize the Secretary of State to adopt a form for this purpose. Based on the analysis of the Secretary of State and the Bond Review Board, it is assumed that the provisions of the bill relating to debt issuance could be absorbed using existing state resources.
Local Government Impact
According to the Texas Association of Counties, no significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
