IN RE:
HB4355 by Krause (Relating to providing children committed to the Texas Juvenile Justice Department and prisoners serving a sentence in a county jail with certain documents on discharge or release.), 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 providing children committed to the Texas Juvenile Justice Department and prisoners serving a sentence in a county jail with certain documents on discharge or release could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
According to the Department of State Health Services, the agency anticipates a negative fiscal impact to sheriffs and commissioner's courts related to this bill, due to the increased cost of providing documents to the discharged prisoners.
