LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION April 26, 2011 TO: Honorable Larry Phillips, Chair, House Committee on Transportation FROM: John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB2443 by Price (Relating to the offense of remaining, parking vehicles, or erecting structures on certain state property.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Transportation Code to create an offense if a person parks a vehicle on a state highway right-of-way or erects a tent, shelter, booth, or structure and receives notice that the activity is prohibited but does not depart or remove the vehicle. The bill would establish exceptions to an offense if a person remains on or parks a vehicle for emergency or highway construction or maintenance; is within the corporate limits of a municipality; is for operations of an electric, gas or surface coal mining and reclamation operation; or is authorized under another state or local law. This analysis assumes the Department of Public Safety could implement the provisions of the bill within existing appropriations.
