LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE 75th Regular Session March 7, 1997 TO: Honorable Rodney Ellis, Chair IN RE: Senate Bill No. 756 Committee on Jurisprudence By: Brown Senate Austin, Texas FROM: John Keel, Director In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SB756 ( Relating to certain juror donations used to compensate victims of crime.) this office has detemined the following: Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SB756-As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. Similar annual fiscal implications would continue as long as the provisions of the bill are in effect. The bill would amend the Government Code by replacing the current requirement that prospective jurors summoned for jury duty be given a form letter with the option to donate their jurors' reimbursement to the Compensation to Victims of Crime, with a requirement that each prospective juror reporting for jury service be given that same form letter. This would reduce the workload and mailing expenses of local govenments by limiting the form letter only to those who actually report for jury service.
