Honorable John Whitmire, Chair, Senate Committee on Criminal Justice
FROM:
John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB1465 by Lindsay (Relating to the establishment of criminal law magistrates in Harris County.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Provisions of the bill would apply only to counties with a population of 3.3 million or more. Currently, only Harris County has a population 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.
