IN RE:
HB2121 by Cyrier (Relating to damages in certain contract claims against the state.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Government Code to allow a plaintiff to recover attorneys fees in certain breach of contract claims against the state if the claim alleges actual damages of less than $250,000. Based on the analysis of the Office of Court Administration and the Office of the Attorney General, duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
