Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB2736 by Frullo (Relating to a succession plan for a regional public defender's office that primarily handles capital cases.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Government Code to authorize the Texas Indigent Defense Commission, as a condition of a grant, to establish a succession plan for a regional public defender office handling capital cases.  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.
