IN RE:	HB1555 by Goldman (Relating to the continuation of the Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission as an advisory committee to the Texas Historical Commission.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Government Code to continue the Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission as an advisory committee to the Texas Historical Commission (THC). The bill would require THC to prescribe a budget, funding cycle, goals, and grant processes that shall be reported on along with THC activities. The bill would also require the Legislative Budget Board to propose goals, strategies, and performance measures for the advisory committee. 

It is assumed that the costs associated with the bill's provisions could be absorbed using existing resources.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
