| IN RE: | SB716 by Gallegos (Relating to payroll deductions for certain employees who are peace officers.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Local Government Code to require a municipality with a population of over 10,000 to make payroll deductions if requested in writing by employees who are peace officers if the municipality already permits deductions for purposes other than those required by law. The bill would take effect September 1, 2005.
Current statute allows a municipality to charge a fee to recover the administrative costs related to processing payroll deductions. If a municipality charges a fee, there would be no fiscal impact. If a municipality does not charge an administrative fee, the cost would be insignificant.
