LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION April 24, 2013 TO: Honorable Larry Phillips, Chair, House Committee on Transportation FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB3125 by Lucio III (Relating to route designation for the issuance of a permit for the movement of oversize and overweight vehicles in certain counties.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend provision in the Transportation Code relating to route designation for the issuance of a permit by the Port of Brownsville for the movement of oversize and overweight vehicles to include additional highways on which the permitted vehicles could carry cargo. Under current law, the port issues permits and collects permit fees for the movement of certain oversize/overweight vehicles on specified state highways.
