TO: | Honorable John Whitmire, Chair, Senate Committee on Criminal Justice |
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.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
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.
