LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION March 25, 2011 TO: Honorable Tommy Williams, Chair, Senate Committee on Transportation & Homeland Security FROM: John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:SB815 by Lucio (Relating to the funding of port security, facility projects, and port studies.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend Chapter 55 of the Transportation Code to authorize the Texas Transportation Commission, by rule, to establish matching fund requirements for receiving money from the port access account fund in place of the matching requirement specified under current law. The bill would require the Port Authority Advisory Committee (PAAC) to prepare a biennial report listing recommended port projects (rather than the annual report required under current law).
