FISCAL NOTE, 78TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 14, 2003

TO:	Honorable Frank Madla, Chair, Senate Committee on Intergovernmental Relations
FROM:	John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB1733 by Gallegos (Relating to the creation of an appeals process for the termination or suspension of deputy constables in certain counties.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend Chapter 160, Local Government Code, to establish an appeals process for deputy constables in a county with a population of more than three million who are terminated or suspended. The bill would take effect September 1, 2003 and would apply only to a deputy constable who is terminated or suspended from duty after that date.

Harris County is the only county with a population of more than three million.

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.
