IN RE:
HB1699 by Capriglione (Relating to the commission of family violence as grounds for an annulment of a marriage.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Family Code to authorize courts to grant an annulment of a marriage to a party if the court finds that the other party to the marriage has committed family violence against that party. 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.
