| TO: | Honorable Harold V. Dutton, Jr., Chair, House Committee on Juvenile Justice & Family Issues |
| FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
| IN RE: | HB807 by Dutton (Relating to the payment and use of a juvenile delinquency prevention fund.), As Introduced |
The bill would authorize a municipality or a county commissioners court to establish a juvenile delinquency prevention fund and would authorize a court to impose a $5 juvenile delinquency prevention fee on a defendant who is a child and is convicted of an offense.
Under current statute, only a county commissioners court may establish the fund and the fund currently applies only to a graffiti offense.
If a municipality or a county commissioners court were to establish a juvenile delinquency prevention fund, the amount collected in each county or municipality would vary.
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.| Source Agencies: | 212 Office of Court Administration, Texas Judicial Council
