IN RE:
HB510 by Moody (Relating to disclosure of certain information about expert witnesses in a criminal case.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure to require a party to disclose the name and address of each person the disclosing party may use at trial to present evidence for requests made not later than the 30th day before the date the trial begins.
Based on the analysis of the Office of Court Administration, duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
