LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION March 14, 2009 TO: Honorable John Carona, Chair, Senate Committee on Transportation & Homeland Security FROM: John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:SB249 by Shapleigh (Relating to counties eligible to impose an optional fee on registration of a vehicle to fund transportation projects.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would authorize additional counties than authorized under current statute to impose an optional $10 fee on registration of a vehicle to fund transportation projects. The bill would apply only to El Paso County. The Texas Department of Transportation would incur one-time programming costs for modifying its automated system to allow for the additional collection; however, this analysis assumes that costs associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources. Local Government Impact Because the bill would not have statewide impact on units of local government of the same type or class, no comment from this office is required by the rules of the House/Senate as to its probable fiscal implication on units of local government.
