IN RE:
SB615 by Estes (Relating to the contracting authority of the Texas Historical Commission.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Government Code to expand the general powers and duties of the Texas Historical Commission and authorize the agency to contract with for-profit entities. It is assumed that the Historical Commission would need to update agency rules, policies, and guidelines; however, it is anticipated the bill would not result in a significant fiscal impact to the State and could be absorbed within existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
