FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB2776 by Smithee (Relating to the right of certain appellants to supersede a judgment or order on appeal.), As Passed 2nd House
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Government Code to require the Supreme Court to adopt new rules regarding the security needed to supersede a judgment during appeal, but provides that the security needed to supersede a judgement during an appeal shall remain available to parties in a lawsuit concerning an administrative enforcement action. 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.
