IN RE:
HJR149 by Talarico (Proposing a constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to exempt from ad valorem taxation real property used to operate a child-care facility.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated, other than the cost of publication.
The cost to the state for publication of the resolution is $204,406.
The resolution would propose an amendment to Article VIII of the Texas Constitution, relating to Taxation and Revenue, to allow the Legislature, by general law, to exempt all or part of the real property used to operate a child-care facility. The Legislature would be authorized to define “child-care facility” and impose eligibility requirements.
Adoption of the proposed constitutional amendment alone would have no fiscal impact on the state or units of local government. Any fiscal impact would be shown on the fiscal note for the the required enabling legislation (HB 3621).
The proposed amendment would be submitted to voters at an election to be held November 7, 2023.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
