Local Government Impact
  
Counties that have cooperative agreements with the Title IV-D agency
could experience increased revenues as a result of the bill's enactment.
The amount of revenues would depend on whether a county would impose
child support fees, the number of cases for which the fee would be
collected and the amount a county would impose.

Bexar County estimates that the bill could provide additional revenue of
$200,000 annually. Travis County estimates that the bill could provide
as much as $43,200 in additional annual revenue.
