FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 11, 2011

TO:	Honorable John Whitmire, Chair, Senate Committee on Criminal Justice
FROM:	John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB1687 by Ellis (Relating to information on turnover among county jail personnel.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Government Code to require each county to submit a report containing the number of county jail personnel who left or were transferred during the previous month, in addition to the other reporting requirements. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards (TCJS) would be required to prescribe a form for the report.

According to TCJS, implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources; therefore, no fiscal impact is anticipated.

Local Government Impact

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