FROM: | John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | SB1811 by Whitmire (Relating to service of process and to the ability to sue and be sued of a sports and community venue district.), As Engrossed |
The bill would add Section 335.005 to the Local Government Code to authorize that a sports and community venue district located in a populous county may sue and be sued in any court of this state.
According to analysis by the Office of Court Administration (OCA), the fiscal impact on the state court system would be insignificant. The OCA also anticipates that there would be no fiscal impact on the local court system.
As per Section 335.035, Local Government Code, a populous county is a county with a population of 2.4 million or more; therefore, provisions of the bill would apply only to Harris County.
