IN RE:
SB1434 by Zaffirini ( Relating to compensation of county auditors and assistant auditors in certain counties.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
This bill would amend the Local Government Code to prohibit a judge or district judge from setting a compensation rate for a county auditor or assistant auditor that is inconsistent with a wage and compensation plan adopted by the county. The bill would apply only to counties located on an international border, with a population of less than 300,000, and that contain one or more municipalities with a population of 200,000 or more.
The compensation of these positions is funded from local sources, therefore the bill has no fiscal impact to the state.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2017.
Local Government Impact
According to the Texas Association of Counties (TAC), the bill would have no fiscal impact to local government.
