FISCAL NOTE, 78TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

May 9, 2003

TO:	Honorable Robert Duncan, Chair, Senate Committee on Jurisprudence
FROM:	John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1391 by Hamric (Relating to the confidentiality of pleadings and protective order applications in certain proceedings in the Family Code.), As Engrossed

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Provisions of the bill would pertain only to a county with a population of 3.4 million or more. Harris County is the only county with a population of that size.

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.
