IN RE:
HB2116 by Villalba (Relating to the expenditure of proceeds or property received from criminal asset forfeiture.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure to revise the rules pertaining to the expenditure of forfeited property and related reporting requirements by certain law enforcement agencies and attorneys representing the state. It is assumed any costs associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within current resources.
Local Government Impact
There may be administrative costs to local law enforcement agencies to comply with reporting requirements; however, the fiscal impact will vary depending on the resources available.
