Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB2733 by Tinderholt (Relating to defendants restricted to the operation of a vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock device or required to submit to alcohol monitoring and establishing a central database of those defendants.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
It is assumed that the costs associated with the bill's provisions relating to defendants restricted to the operation of a vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock device or required to submit to alcohol monitoring and establishing a central database of those defendants could be absorbed using 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
According to the Justices of the Peace and Constables Association of Texas, the bill's provisions could require additional staffing in counties where justices of the peace are performing magistrate duties due to its significant reporting requirements.
