FISCAL NOTE, 88TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 10, 2023

TO:	Honorable Terry Canales, Chair, House Committee on Transportation
FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1888 by Lopez, Janie (relating to the route designation for the issuance of a permit for the movement of oversize and overweight vehicles in certain counties.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend Transportation Code, Section 623.219, relating to route designations for port authority permits, and Section 623.363, relating to regional mobility authority (RMA) permits, for the movement of oversize or overweight vehicles carrying cargo on state highways located in certain counties, to designate additional state highway routes on the authorized oversize/overweight vehicle corridors specified under these sections. 

Based on the information provided by the Texas Department of Transportation, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within the agency's existing resources.

Local Government Impact

The bill would authorize additional state highway routes subject to RMA and port authority oversize/overweight vehicle permits issued by the Hidalgo County RMA and the Port of Harlingen.
