Honorable John Whitmire, Chair, Senate Committee on Criminal Justice
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB476 by Nelson (Relating to establishment of county sexual assault response teams.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Local Government Code to require the commissioners court of each county to establish a sexual assault response team. The bill would authorize two or more contiguous counties, each with a population of 50,000 or less, to partner to form a multicounty response team.
Local Government Impact
The fiscal implications of the bill cannot be determined at this time due to an absence of responses from units of local government.
