The bill would subject the following entities to sunset review, but not abolishment. Costs identified include salaries for additional full-time equivalent positions (including benefits) to conduct and issue recommendations, as well as travel and production costs. $192,709 in fiscal year 2012 and $74,316 in fiscal year 2013 for the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA), including 3 FTEs and 1 FTE each fiscal year, respectively. $204,709 in fiscal year 2012 and $74,316 in fiscal year 2013 for the Port of Houston Authority, including 3 FTEs and 1 FTE each fiscal year, respectively.
