Revision 1

May 28, 2011

TO:	Honorable David Dewhurst, Lieutenant Governor, Senate Honorable Joe Straus, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives
FROM:	John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB1198 by Rodriguez (Relating to decedents' estates.), Conference Committee Report

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend various administrative and procedural requirements in the Texas Probate Code. While this bill would alter some provisions of the Probate Code that would be of concern to practitioners, the bill would not affect most procedures employed by the courts when handling probate cases. Consequently, no significant fiscal impact is anticipated. 

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
