TO:
Honorable Terry Keel, Chair, House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence
 
FROM:
John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
SB458 by Armbrister (Relating to requiring a court cost impact statement on a bill or resolution that imposes a court cost on a person charged with a criminal offense.), As Engrossed

The bill would require the Legislative Budget Board (LBB) to prepare an impact statement for each resolution proposing a constitutional amendment or bill that proposes imposing a new court cost or fee on a person charged with a criminal offense or increasing the amount of an existing court cost or fee imposed on a person charged with a criminal offense.  The LBB anticipates that any work resulting from the passage of this bill could be reasonably absorbed with current resources.



Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
