 TO:     Honorable John Whitmire, Chair         IN RE: Committee Substitute
         Committee on Criminal Justice                          for Senate

         Austin, Texas









FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on Senate Bill No.
866 (Relating to the payment of restitution to victims of crime
or reimbursement of the compensation to victims of crime fund and
to the garnishment of wages for restitution and reimbursement;
providing civil penalties.) this office has determined the
following:

The bill would provide for the court ordered payment of
restitution to the Crime Victim's Compensation Fund.  In addition
to withholding disposable earnings, the bill would prohibit
certain obligors ordered to pay restitution from bidding on or
entering into public contracts, or receiving a state-funded grant
or loan.

Provisions of the bill could result in revenue gains to the Crime
Victim's Compensation Fund, however, these gains cannot be
determined. 


The fiscal implication to the State or units of local government
cannot be determined.
