maps and the critical infrastructure emergency response map grant
program.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would establish certain procedures related to critical infrastructure facilities. The bill would also create the critical infrastructure emergency response map account in the general revenue fund, to be administered by DPS. The account would consist of legislative appropriations; any dedicated revenues; and gifts, grants (including federal), or donations. Account money could be appropriated only to the DPS to administer the grant program and award grants under the new subchapter.
According to the Department of Public Safety, any costs associated with the bill could be absorbed using existing resources.
Note: This legislation would do one or more of the following: create or recreate a dedicated account in the General Revenue Fund, create or recreate a special or trust fund either in, with, or outside the Treasury, or create a dedicated revenue source. The fund, account, or revenue dedication included in this bill would be subject to funds consolidation review by the current Legislature.
