FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION


April 21, 2021

TO:	Honorable Brooks Landgraf, Chair, House Committee on Environmental Regulation

FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board

IN RE:	HB2136 by Thompson, Ed (Relating to marine vessel projects in the diesel emissions reduction incentive program.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code to require projects involving marine vessels or engines that have received a grant through the Diesel Emission Reduction Incentive program be required to operate in an intercoastal waterway or bay adjacent to a nonattainment area or affected county at least 55 percent of the time over the lifetime of the project.

Based on the analysis of the TCEQ, it is assumed that duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed with existing resources.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
