FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 17, 2021

TO:	Honorable Joan Huffman, Chair, Senate Committee on Jurisprudence
FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB343 by Kolkhorst (Relating to the entry into the Texas Crime Information Center of certain information regarding conditions of bond imposed in criminal cases involving family violence.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure to require that certain notices to the appropriate State's attorney, local law enforcement, and victims be given relating to orders ordering, modifying, or removing a condition of bond imposed in criminal cases involving family violence. In addition, the bill would require local law enforcement agencies to add certain information regarding these conditions to the statewide law enforcement information system maintained by the Department of Public Safety.

Based on the analysis of the Office of Court Administration and the Department of Public Safety, it is assumed that duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the bill could be accomplished utilizing existing resources. In addition, no significant fiscal impact to the state court system is anticipated with the implementation of the bill.

Local Government Impact

According to the Texas Association of Counties, no significant fiscal impact to counties is anticipated.
