LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION Revision 1 March 23, 2011 TO: Honorable Jim Keffer, Chair, House Committee on Energy Resources FROM: John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB2125 by Parker (Relating to the priority of oil or gas well inspections by the Railroad Commission of Texas.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would require that the Railroad Commission give inspection priority in determining the order and frequency of inspection to oil or gas wells counties with a population of 650,000 or more and in which there are more than 2,000 producing oil or gas wells. Based on 2009 population estimates and data from the Railroad Commission, the bill is expected to affect oil or gas wells in Bexar, Denton, and Tarrant Counties. This estimate assumes that the Railroad Commission would use existing inspectors to complete the responsibilities added by the bill in the three affected counties. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. Source Agencies:455 Railroad Commission LBB Staff: JOB, SZ, ZS, TL
