LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION May 15, 2009 TO: Honorable Chris Harris, Chair, Senate Committee on Economic Development FROM: John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB1770 by Miklos (Relating to the designation of an area as a reinvestment zone under the Tax Increment Financing Act.), As Engrossed No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would authorize a municipality by ordinance to designate a noncontiguous geographic area that is in the corporate limits of the municipality, in the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of the municipality, or in both to be a reinvestment zone. An area that is wholly or partly located in the municipality's ETJ would not be affected by a subsequent annexation by the municipality of real property in the reinvestment zone. Under current statute, only a contiguous geographic area may be designated as part of the reinvestment zone. Local Government Impact It is assumed that a municipality would add applicable noncontiguous areas to a reinvestment zone only if the municipality considered the designation to have a positive benefit. The fiscal impact would vary by municipality.
