LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD
Austin, Texas
FISCAL NOTE
74th Regular Session
April 17, 1995
TO: Honorable John Whitmire, Chair IN RE: Senate BillNo. 1338
Committee on Criminal Justice By: Moncrief
Senate
Austin, Texas
FROM: John Keel, Director
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on Senate Bill No.
1338 (relating to the administration of the judicial and court
personnel training fund) this office has determined the
following:
The bill would make no appropriation but could provide the legal
basis for an appropriation of funds to implement the provisions
of the bill.
The bill would require the Court of Criminal Appeals to require
grantees receiving judicial and court personnel training funds to
receive legislatively required training and to develop a method
for determining the qualitative information regarding the
grantees' programs and ability to meet unspecified financial
performance standards. The Court of Criminal Appeals would be
required to monitor financial and program performance of grantees
and to develop a performance standard.
The probable fiscal implication of implementing the provisions of
the bill during each of the first five years following passage
is estimated as follows:
Fiscal Probable Cost
Year Out of Judicial &
Court Training
Fund 540
GR Consolidated
1996 $20,000
1997 20,000
1998 20,000
1999 20,000
2000 20,000
Similar annual fiscal implications would continue as long as the
provisions of the bill are in effect.
No fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.
