Bill Caption
Relating to a historic structure assistance program operated by a municipally owned utility in certain municipalities; authorizing a fee.
Fiscal Notes
No significant fiscal implication to the state is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
SB 1670 would allow a municipally owned utility in Brownsville to charge a historic structure fee of no more than
$1 a month to maintain and operate the utility systems of certain historic
structures. An election would be required to approve the fee.
Vote Recommendation Notes
This is a local and permissive bill that would only affect the City of Brownsville, therefore we remain neutral on SB 1670.
