IN RE:
HB1061 by Turner, Chris (Relating to the prosecution of the offense of obstruction or retaliation.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Penal Code to expand the definition of "harm" to include financial and personal reputation harm, and harm caused by the invasion of a person's privacy.
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
