LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION May 30, 2009 TO: Honorable David Dewhurst , Lieutenant Governor, Senate Honorable Joe Straus, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives FROM: John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB2647 by Kent (Relating to the quasi-judicial enforcement of certain health and safety ordinances.), Conference Committee Report No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Local Government Code to authorize enforcement of certain health and safety ordinances in the same manner as a municipality enforces certain regulations of housing and other structures. Local Government Impact The fiscal impact would depend on the number of violations to be enforced; however, the statutes under which enforcement may occur include provisions related to collecting a bond or other financial guaranty or to assess expenses on a lien against non-homestead property. Therefore, associated costs of enforcement may be offset to a certain extent by imposition of a bond, other financial guaranty, or assessment. Source Agencies: LBB Staff: JOB, DB
