Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB2703 by Muñoz, Jr. (Relating to a temporary order appointing a receiver in a suit for dissolution of a marriage.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Family Code to require a court, within seven days of the appointment of a receiver in a suit for dissolution of a marriage, to issue written findings of fact and conclusions of law in support of the appointment. If a court decides not to require a bond between the spouses in connection with that appointment, the bill would require the court to include findings of fact explaining its decision. 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
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
