FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 30, 2021

TO:	Honorable Tracy O. King, Chair, House Committee on Natural Resources
FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB905 by Perry (Relating to guidance on the regulations applicable to the potable reuse of wastewater.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code to require the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to develop a regulatory guidance manual that explain commission rules applicable to direct potable reuse and make this manual publicly available. 

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.
