John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB756 by Menendez (Relating to requiring support of certain children over 18 years of age.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would provide for a court order of child support up to the age of 21 years if the child is enrolled as a full-time student in an educational institution. The Office of the Attorney General indicates that the proposed change would require some programming changes to the automated system, TXCSES; however, the cost of minor programming changes could be reasonably absorbed within existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
