ZEM H.C.R. 96 75(R)BILL ANALYSIS


CIVIL PRACTICES
H.C.R. 96
By: Bonnen
3-18-97
Committee Report (Unamended)



BACKGROUND 

Ms. Fogarty is an employee of TDCJ and has obtained a judgment in the
amount of $25,000 against an inmate who injured her.  Because Ms. Fogarty
seeks only to garnish the inmate's trust fund account to satisfy the
judgment, this resolution would require no state appropriation. 

PURPOSE
 
To grant Ms. Benita Fogarty permission to sue the state.

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly grant any
additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency or
institution.
