IN RE:
HB1198 by Dean (Relating to a public awareness campaign to promote the proper attachment of trailers to certain motor vehicles.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require the Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to develop and implement a public awareness campaign regarding the proper attachment of trailers to certain vehicles. The bill would authorize TxDOT to pay the costs of the campaign from (1) gifts, grants, or donations; (2) matching funds; and (3) other funds made available for that purpose, including available TxDOT revenue.

Based on the information provided by TxDOT, it is assumed the costs of implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within the agency's existing resources.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
