IN RE:
HB3767 by Nevárez (Relating to the maintenance of certain roads near an international border.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Chapter 250 of the Transportation Code to require the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) to ensure that a route on the state highway system, including FM 1021, between Eagle Pass and Laredo is sufficiently maintained to allow for economic development and the provision of homeland security along the route.
Based on information provided by TxDOT, it is assumed maintenance of the route on the state highway system is currently accomplished using the agency's existing State Highway Fund appropriations. No significant fiscal or operational impact to the agency is anticipated.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
