      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.
