John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB2482 by Uresti (Relating to the requirement that the parties in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship attend parenting classes.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
In a suit affecting the parent-child relationship, the bill would mandate the court to order the parties to the suit to attend a parent education and family stabilization course. In a suit affecting the parent-child relationship that provides for possession of or access to a child, the bill would give the court discretion to order the parties to the suit to attend a parent education and family stabilization course. Based upon the assumption that these proposals apply to private suits, the Department of Protective and Regulatory Services indicates no significant fiscal impact.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
