Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend the Government Code to entitle the State Prosecuting
Attorney to receive compensation equal to a district judge.
Methodology
The Office of State Prosecuting Attorney estimates that it would require
an increase in the salary of the State Prosecuting Attorney of $19,491
each fiscal year if appropriations were approved to implement the
provisions of the bill. Related employee benefits are estimated to be
$5,512 each year. Calculations are based on the compensation provided
for the State Prosecuting Attorney and a district judge for the 2001-02
biennium.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
