      TO: Honorable Fred M. Bosse, Chair            IN RE:  House Bill No. 833, Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
          Committee on Land and Resource Management                              By: Junell

         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on HB833 ( Relating 
to exempting real property owned by this state from attachment, 
execution, or forced sale.) this office has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB833-Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
         

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         
This bill would explicitly provide an exemption for state-owned 
real property, including real property held in the name of a 
state agency or fund, from attachment, execution or forced sale. 
  If a person obtains a judgment against the State, this bill 
would not allow that person to have the property "seized" or 
sold at a sheriff's sale.  Since this bill would codify the 
common law doctrine that already exempts state real property, 
no fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         
 
          
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
