TO:
Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB788 by Geren (Relating to the eligibility of emergency service dispatchers to participate in a public safety employees treatment court program.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Government Code by adding emergency service dispatcher to the
definition of public safety employee eligible for participation in the public safety employee
treatment court program.

Based on the analysis of the Office of Court Administration, it is assumed that duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.

This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on state correctional populations or on the demand for state correctional resources.

Local Government Impact

The Texas Association of Counties does not anticipate a significant fiscal impact to counties.
