FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 8, 2013

TO:	Honorable Royce West, Chair, Senate Committee on Jurisprudence
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB1806 by Eltife (Relating to the Harrison County Court at Law.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Government Code as it relates to the jurisdiction of county courts at law in Harrison County; assignment and transfer of certain cases within Harrison County; certain jury requests; and certain fees for criminal district attorneys.

The Office of Court Administration does not anticipate any significant fiscal impact resulting from the provisions of the bill. Certain portions of the bill take effect pursuant to a delayed implementation schedule, but unless specified otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2013.  

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.
