LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 76th Regular Session February 19, 1999 TO: Honorable Toby Goodman, Chair, House Committee on Juvenile Justice & Family Issues FROM: John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE: HB870 by Goodman (Relating to county fees for handling certain registry funds.), As Introduced ************************************************************************** * No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. * ************************************************************************** Local Government Impact The bill would have no fiscal impact on counties which invest all registry funds in interest-bearing accounts. Counties which keep some portion of their registry funds in non-interest-bearing accounts could experience a loss of fee revenues. The loss would depend on the amount of registry funds a county maintains in non-interest-bearing accounts which were generated from cases arising under the Family Code. In most cases, the loss is not anticipated to be significant. Source Agencies: LBB Staff: JK, MD, TL
