IN RE:
HB2820 by Pickett (Relating to establishing the Texas Peace Officers' Memorial Ceremony Committee to recognize and honor peace officers who were killed in the line of duty.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Chapter 3105 of the Government Code. The bill would restrict use of money in an account within the Capitol Fund established for the Texas Peace Officers' Memorial Monument, for maintenance of the monument. The bill would establish a Texas Peace Officers' Memorial Ceremony Committee (committee) which would plan and oversee annual ceremonies recognizing and honoring peace officers of this state who were killed in the line of duty. The ceremonies would be held on the Capitol grounds on a date selected during the week in which May 8 occurs. The committee and organizations represented on the committee would solicit and accept private donations to fund the ceremony. Based on the analysis of the State Preservation Board, no significant fiscal impact is anticipated. This analysis assumes that donations received would cover the costs to host the annual memorial ceremonies.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
