LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION March 18, 2009 TO: Honorable Byron Cook, Chair, House Committee on Environmental Regulation FROM: John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB1514 by Deshotel (Relating to the definition of supplemental environmental projects.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill revises the definition of a Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) done in place of a fine or penalty owed to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to include projects that would allow for free screenings for early detection of breast or prostate cancers. Because the respondent of the alleged violation would be required to pay for the breast or prostate screening costs, no signficant fiscal impact to the state is expected. Although there could be some loss of revenue to the state if the bill's passage resulted in violators participating in the SEP instead of paying a fine or penalty, this estimate assumes the bill would only affect violators that would have otherwise chosen another form of SEP. Local Government Impact No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
