Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB1066 by Thompson, Senfronia (Relating to the collection of certain judgments through court proceeding.), As Engrossed
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 a judgment debtor's property cannot be attached or levied by ordinary legal process before a judgment creditor can obtain other judicial assistance, such as injunction, in reaching property sufficient to satisfy the judgment. 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.
