TO: | Honorable David Dewhurst , Lieutenant Governor, Senate Honorable Tom Craddick, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB930 by Chavez (Relating to certain orders rendered by, and preservation of the record in matters heard by, an associate judge under the Family Code.), Conference Committee Report |
The bill would amend the Family Code to allow an associate judge to render and sign a final order in a case in which a party has filed an unrevoked waiver as described. To the extent the bill would amend court procedures relating to orders rendered by an associate judge, no significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would take immediate effect if the bill receives the vote of two-thirds of the members of each House. Otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2007.
