Honorable John Whitmire, Chair, Senate Committee on Criminal Justice
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB1504 by Whitmire (Relating to the concurrent jurisdiction of certain municipal courts in certain criminal cases punishable by fine only.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Based on the applicability criteria of the bill, it would apply only to the City of Houston and those municipalities contiguous to Houston.
Local Government Impact
Because the bill would not have statewide impact on units of local government of the same type or class, no comment from this office is required by the rules of the House/Senate as to its probable fiscal implication on units of local government.
