LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION May 27, 2009 TO: Honorable Joe Straus, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives FROM: John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB3072 by Geren (Relating to the transfer of municipal property to economic development corporations by certain municipalities.), As Passed 2nd House No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Local Government Code to authorize a municipality with a population of 20,000 or less to transfer real property or an interest in real property to an economic development corporation without complying with notice and bidding requirements. However, the corporation must use the property in a manner that primarily promotes a public purpose of the municipality. If the corporation fails to use the property in that manner, it would automatically revert back to the municipality. A municipality would be prohibited from transferring property to an economic development corporation under the new section of statute if the property was acquired through eminent domain.
