IN RE:
HB1223 by VanDeaver (relating to the creation and enforcement of a criminal offense relating to interference with child custody and to the prosecution of child custody offenses.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend various codes as they relate to interference with child custody and to the prosecution and enforcement of child custody offenses. Under the provisions of the bill, certain persons taking or retaining a child under 18 years of age would commit an offense in specific circumstances.
The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement and the Office of Court Administration do not anticipate a significant fiscal impact. This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill addressing felony sanctions would not result in a significant impact on state correctional populations or the demand for state correctional resources.
Local Government Impact
According to the Texas Municipal League, no significant fiscal impact to cities is anticipated.
Cameron County does not anticipate a fiscal impact to the county.
