IN RE:	HB1495 by Guerra (Relating to a study on leasing state property for private use.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) and the Texas Facilities Commission (TFC) to collaborate with the Texas Commission on the Arts (TCA) on a study regarding the leasing of state agency buildings and property for the use of artists for the practice and performance of their arts.

According to TCA, the bill would have no significant fiscal impact on the agency.
