FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 14, 2013

TO:	Honorable Tryon D. Lewis, Chair, House Committee on Judiciary & Civil Jurisprudence
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB2409 by Naishtat (Relating to a court administrator hired by a statutory probate court.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend certain Government Code provisions relating to the personnel of statutory probate courts to replace the phrase "administrative assistant" with "court administrator." The bill specifies that on the bill's effective date, a person serving as an administrative assistant in a statutory probate court continues service as a court administrator in that court unless otherwise removed.

 

The Office of Court Administration does not anticipate any significant fiscal impact to the court system resulting from the bill. The bill would take effect immediately if receiving a two-thirds vote of each house, otherwise the bill would take effect September 1, 2013.

Local Government Impact

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