Fiscal Analysis
The bill would abolish the Texas Residential Construction Commission (TRCC) effective February 1, 2010. The bill would require the Texas Facilities Commission to take custody of TRCC property, records, or other assets unless the Governor designates another governmental entity to take custody. The bill would take effect on September 1, 2009.
The bill would abolish the Texas Residential Construction Commission (TRCC) effective February 1, 2010. The bill would require the Texas Facilities Commission to take custody of TRCC property, records, or other assets unless the Governor designates another governmental entity to take custody.
The bill would take effect on September 1, 2009.
Methodology
The abolishment of the TRCC would result in a loss of General Revenue from professional fees and new home registration fees collected by the agency. Based on the Comptroller's Biennial Revenue Estimate for the 2010-11 biennium, the revenue loss is estimated to be approximately $11 million each year. The revenue loss would be offset by a cost savings of $10.4 million each year based on the fiscal year 2009 budgeted General Revenue expenditures for TRCC. The bill requires the Texas Facilities Commission (TFC) to take custody of all property, records, and other assets of the TRCC. Based on the analysis of TFC, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within the agency's existing resources.
