No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Property Code to allow for the removal of discriminatory restrictions or provisions from property records, through the submission of a form that can be considered by county clerks. The bill provides a suggested form with minimum information to be contained.
The Office of the Attorney General indicates that costs to implement the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.
Local Government Impact
The Brazoria County Clerk expects a minimal fiscal impact and the Guadalupe County Clerk does not anticipate a fiscal impact from provisions of the bill.
