IN RE:
HB5041 by Garcia (Relating to the appointment of an attorney pro tem for certain criminal proceedings.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
It is assumed that any costs associated with the bill could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
Based on information provided by the Office of Court Administration, the fiscal impact to units of local government cannot be determined because the number of cases or proceedings where a local attorney would be used in place of a state attorney under the provisions of the bill is unknown.
