March 29, 2019

TO:	Honorable Jeff Leach, Chair, House Committee on Judiciary & Civil Jurisprudence
FROM:	John McGeady, Assistant Director     Sarah Keyton, Assistant Director Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1734 by Holland (Relating to litigation involving certain defects in school district facilities and enforcement of certain duties following that litigation; authorizing a civil penalty.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Based on the analysis of the Office of Court Administration, Office of the Attorney General, and the Texas Education Agency, it is assumed that the provisions of the bill relating to litigation of defective school facilities could be absorbed using existing state resources.

Local Government Impact

Based on the analysis of the Texas Education Agency, a school district may forfeit facility funding if it does not comply with the notification requirements of the bill. However, the fiscal implications of the bill cannot be determined at this time.
