Honorable Tom Craddick, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives
FROM:
John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB681 by Farrar (Relating to the location of a jail or related facility operated by a private vendor or a county.), As Passed 2nd House
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would apply to a booking facility operated by a private vendor or a county in a municipality with a population of 1.5 million or more. Currently, the population stipulation applies only to the City of Houston.
Local Government Impact
Because the bill would not have statewide impact on units of local government of the same type or class, no comment from this office is required by the rules of the House/Senate as to its probable fiscal implication on units of local government.
