March 2, 2015

TO:	Honorable John T. Smithee, Chair, House Committee on Judiciary & Civil Jurisprudence
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB604 by Davis, Sarah (Relating to the collection of certain judgments through court proceeding.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to remove language requiring a showing that the property of a debtor cannot be attached or levied on by ordinary legal process as necessary for judgment creditors to reach the assets of a debtor.

 

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.
