LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION May 15, 2013 TO: Honorable Joe Straus, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB243 by Menéndez (Relating to the authority of a community center that provides mental health or mental retardation services to sell certain real property of the center.), As Passed 2nd House No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code to authorize a community center to sell real property without the approval of the department or any local agency that appoints members to the board of trustees, only if the property was acquired solely through a gift or grant of money or real property from a private entity. Real property must be sold for fair market value, unless the board of trustees adopts a resolution stating the public purpose; and the conditions and circumstances to accomplish and maintain the public purpose that will be achieved by the sale. Local Government Impact A community center that sells real property at fair market value could experience a positive fiscal impact; however, the amounts would vary depending on the value of the real property sold, the amounts owed and the intended use of the proceeds.
