FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 30, 2009

TO:	Honorable Jeff Wentworth, Chair, Senate Committee on Jurisprudence
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB2554 by Hegar (Relating to a bailiff for the 130th District Court.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would authorize the judge of the 130th District Court to appoint a bailiff. The bailiff would be
entitled to receive a salary set by the Commissioners Court of Matagorda County.

The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all members elected to
each house. If the bill does not receive the votes required to pass, the bill would take effect September
1, 2009.

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.
