TO:	Honorable Terry Canales, Chair, House Committee on Transportation
FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB4797 by Romero, Jr. (Relating to training on the treatment of toll project roadways during inclement weather.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend Transportation Code, Chapter 372, to establish training requirements for toll project entities and their employees or contractors that treat a roadway maintained by the entity during icy or snowy weather. The bill would require the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to make its training courses that it provides to TxDOT employees, available to a person required to receive training under the provisions of the bill.

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

Local Government Impact

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