IN RE:
HB2120 by Allen, Ray (Relating to the administration and powers of county government.), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Health and Safety Code, the Government Code, the Local Government Code, the Property Code, and the Tax Code, to make a number of administrative or permissive changes in the manner in which counties operate, but would impose no new fines, fees, or mandates.
Local Government Impact
While some counties could experience additional costs or savings as a result of various sections of the bill, it is anticipated that the impact would be minimal and controllable by the counties that elect to avail themselves of the new provisions. The fiscal impact would vary by county.
