John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB1178 by Flynn (Relating to employment protection for members of the state military forces.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Government Code relating to employment protection for members of the state military forces. Based on the analysis of the Texas Workforce Commission and the Texas Veterans Commission, it is assumed that duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.
Local Government Impact
The fiscal impact to local courts is not anticipated to be significant.
The bill would require that a political subdivision would be liable for costs, including attorney's fees, to the same extent as a private person. The fiscal impact to local governments due to this provision would vary depending on number of applicable violations by local governments but is not anticipated to be significant.
