Fiscal Notes

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Bill Analysis

Under current law, the aviation advisory committee must consist of six members appointed by the commission. The committee is designated to advise the Texas Transportation Commission and the Texas Department of Transportation on aviation matters.

 

House Bill 3591 would authorize the Texas Transportation Commission to determine the number of members to be appointed on the committee. The committee must have at least six members.

Vote Recommendation Notes

The authority to make changes to governing committees of political subdivisions is clearly within the legitimate responsibility of the government, the provisions of this bill have no relationship to our liberty principles. House Bill 3191 neither uplifts nor offends our liberty principles, therefore we remain neutral.
