IN RE:
SB1174 by Eltife (Relating to the property to which a child support lien attaches.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Family Code, to clarify the property to which a child support lien attaches. Under current law, a lien attaches to the proceeds of insurance policies, based on a wide variety of claims. The bill would exclude insurance claims for damage to real or personal property. The Office of Court Administration indicates bill provisions are not anticipated to have a significant fiscal implication to the court system.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
