May 25, 2019

TO:	Honorable Dan Patrick, Lieutenant Governor, Senate Honorable Dennis Bonnen, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives
FROM:	John McGeady, Assistant Director     Sarah Keyton, Assistant Director Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1734 by Holland (Relating to litigation involving certain defects in school district facilities and enforcement of certain duties following that litigation; authorizing a civil penalty.), Conference Committee Report

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Based on the analysis of the Office of Court Administration, Office of the Attorney General, and the Texas Education Agency, it is assumed that the provisions of the bill relating to litigation of defective school facilities could be absorbed using existing state resources.

Local Government Impact

Based on the analysis of the Texas Education Agency, a school district may forfeit facility funding if it does not comply with the notification requirements of the bill. However, the fiscal implications of the bill cannot be determined at this time.
