TO:	Honorable John Whitmire, Chair, Senate Committee on Criminal Justice
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB580 by Wu (Relating to the statute of limitations for aggravated assault.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure to add aggravated assault to the list of offenses with a statute of limitation of three years. The Office of Court Administration indicates it does not anticipate a significant fiscal impact to the state court system as a result of implementing the provisions of the bill. This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on state correctional agencies.

Local Government Impact

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