The bill would take effect September 1, 2019.

The bill assumes the appropriation would be made in fiscal year 2021 and that TDEM would have unexpended authority within the biennium per DPS' bill pattern if expenditures are necessary in fiscal year 2021.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
