IN RE:
HB1884 by Anderson, Charles "Doc" (Relating to the penalties for certain littering offenses.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Health and Safety Code to require a court to order a defendant convicted of littering to perform 60 hours of community service in the county in which the defendant resides. The community service requirement would be in addition to any other applicable fines or penalties related to the conviction. Based on the analysis of the Office of Court Administration, duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
According to the Office of Court Administration, the bill would have no significant fiscal impact on local courts.
