LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION April 5, 2013 TO: Honorable Patricia Harless, Chair, House Committee on Environmental Regulation FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB2290 by Lozano (Relating to the retention of a portion of money received by a local government to implement a supplemental environmental project.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would allow local governments that receive money to implement a Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) to retain up to 10 percent of the amount received for administrative costs. The bill would require the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to solicit the input of the Texas Association of Resource Conservation and Development Areas, Inc. (RC&D), in determining whether the amount of administrative costs is justified. Passage of the bill is not expected to result in a significant fiscal impact to the TCEQ. Local Government Impact The bill would make it easier for a local government to recoup administrative costs associated with a SEP when they serve as third party administrators. The amount of costs a local government could recoup would depend upon the size of the SEP. Source Agencies:582 Commission on Environmental Quality LBB Staff: UP, SZ, TL
