TO: | Honorable Will Hartnett, Chair, House Committee on Judicial Affairs |
FROM: | John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB3322 by Keffer, Jim (Relating to the creation of an appellate judicial system for the Eleventh Court of Appeals District.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. The 23 counties in the Eleventh Court of Appeals District would incur slight costs to establish a separate appellate justice system fund, but these costs are expected to be minimal. Shackelford County reported 98 civil cases filed in fiscal year 2002, resulting in $490 for the fund. Taylor County reported 4,754 civil cases filed in fiscal year 2002, resulting in $23,770 for the fund.
The 23 counties in the district would also incur costs assisting the district in the administration and management of the system, but the costs would depend of the level of assistance required by the district.
