IN RE:
SB1674 by Perry (Relating to the amount credited in a state fiscal year to the judicial fund to provide basic civil legal services.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Government Code to allow the amount credited to Judicial Fund No. 573 for programs approved by the Supreme Court of Texas that provide basic civil legal services to the indigent not to exceed $50.0 million each fiscal year. Based on the analysis of the Office of Court Administration, duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
