LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION March 2, 2009 TO: Honorable Joseph Pickett, Chair, House Committee on Transportation FROM: John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB782 by Pickett (Relating to registration exemptions for certain foreign commercial motor vehicles.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Transportation Code by changing the definition a foreign commercial motor vehicle to a commercial motor vehicle "owned" by a person or entity, instead of "owned or controlled" by a person or entity. The bill would require a vehicle located in a border commercial zone and owned by a leasing facility or a leasing terminal located in Texas, and leased to a foreign carrier, to display a valid Texas registration. Based on the analysis of the Texas Department of Transportation, it is assumed the provisions of the bill would result in a revenue gain to the state and the counties from an increase in trailer registrations. However, the impact to the state is not expected to be significant. Local Government Impact The amount of revenue gain would vary by county within a border commercial zone depending on the number of vehicles required to be registered; however, the amount would not be significant.
