Implementing the provisions of the bill would result in a net negative
impact of $(36,630) to General Revenue Related Funds through the biennium

The bill would apply the professional prosecutors law to the district attorney
for the 100th Judicial District, increasing the salary of the district attorney, but
prohibiting the private practice of law.

attorney under the professional prosecutors act and the current salary of the
district attorney, who is not included in the act.
