Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB1233 by Seliger (Relating to a study of the disaster preparedness for certain state military installations.), As Engrossed
Estimated Two-year Net Impact to General Revenue Related Funds for SB1233, As Engrossed : a negative impact of ($900,000) through the biennium ending August 31, 2023.
The bill would make no appropriation but could provide the legal basis for an appropriation of funds to implement the provisions of the bill. The Texas Military Department is required to implement a provision of this Act only if the legislature appropriates money specifically for that purpose. If the legislature does not appropriate money specifically for that purpose, the department may, but is not required to, implement a provision of this Act using other appropriations available for that purpose.

Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend the Government Code to direct the Texas Military Department (TMD) to conduct a study of the disaster preparedness of six Texas military forces facilities including hurricanes, tornadoes, severe storms, floods, and extreme weather events.
Methodology
Under the provisions of the bill, TMD would be required to report on the findings of the disaster preparedness study by December 1, 2022. This analysis assumes that the study would be conducted within fiscal year 2022. The fiscal impact is anticipated to be $0.9 million in fiscal year 2022, or $150,000 per facility, based on 2017 costs after Hurricane Harvey. This estimate does not account for possible cost growth.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
