John McGeady, Assistant Director Sarah Keyton, Assistant Director Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB1717 by White (Relating to a person holding office as a municipal judge in more than one municipality at the same time.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Based on the analysis of the Secretary of State, it is assumed that the provisions of the bill relating to municipal office holders could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
Based on analysis by the Texas Municipal League, the provisions of the bill relating to municipal judges may result in cost savings for smaller political subdivisions. However, due to the uncertainty in these assumptions the fiscal implications of the bill on local government cannot be determined at this time.
