| TO: | Honorable Todd Hunter, Chair, House Committee on Judiciary & Civil Jurisprudence |
| FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
| IN RE: | HB4296 by Anchia (Relating to the collection of certain judgments through court proceeding.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Civil Practice and Remedies Code relating to the collection of certain judgments through a court proceeding. The bill would provide that a judgment creditor is entitled to aid from a court via an injunction or other means in order to obtain satisfaction on the judgment. The bill would remove current criteria necessary for relief from a court. To the extent the bill may result in an increase in the number of petitions for aid from a court in satisfying a judgment, no significant increase in judicial workloads or fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would take immediate effect if the bill receives two-thirds the vote of all members. Otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2009.
