Enrolled Bill Summary

Legislative Session: 83(R)

Senate Bill 967

Senate Author:  West

Effective:  6-14-13

            Current law grants a municipality determined during an audit by the Office of Court Administration to be noncompliant with statutory requirements for a court collection improvement program a 180-day grace period after receiving notice of noncompliance to reestablish compliance. Senate Bill 967 amends the Local Government Code to extend this grace period to a county determined to be noncompliant with those requirements and to reflect this extension in provisions regarding the submission of certain court fees to the comptroller of public accounts if the county is unable to reestablish compliance within the grace period.
