Honorable Kelly Hancock, Chair, Senate Committee on Business & Commerce
FROM:
John McGeady, Assistant Director Sarah Keyton, Assistant Director Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB401 by Hancock (Relating to legislative oversight of deferred maintenance projects.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Government Code to establish a Joint Oversight Committee on Government Facilities to review deferred maintenance plans and receive implementation updates. The bill would require the Committee to submit a report biannually to the legislature. The Committee would be abolished and the statute governing the Committee would expire on September 1, 2025.
If the Texas Legislative Council were required to fund and provide staff support for the committee, it indicates that it could absorb the costs associated with the bill within its current resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
