March 14, 2023

TO:
Honorable Victoria Neave Criado, Chair, House Committee on County Affairs
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB1308 by Perez (Relating to the establishment of a constable's department civil service system in certain counties; creating a criminal offense.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would authorize certain counties to create a civil service system for employees of the county constable's department and to create a criminal offense for failure to appear as required by a subpoena issued by the chair of a civil service commission. 

This analysis assumes that any costs associated with the bill could be absorbed using existing resources and that 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

It is assumed that any fiscal impact to units of local government associated with enforcement, prosecution, supervision, or confinement would not be significant. No other significant fiscal impact to units of local government is anticipated.
