TO:	Honorable Jeff Leach, Chair, House Committee on Judiciary & Civil Jurisprudence

FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board

IN RE:	HB5009 by Hayes (relating to the collection or execution of certain judgments; authorizing fees.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

The fiscal implications of the bill cannot be determined due to lack of case-level data.

The bill would amend the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to require a justice court to act or hold a hearing if a judgment creditor is unable to execute or collect a judgment entered by the court within six months after a judgment is rendered in a case, if the creditor has filed an application for appointment of a receiver. The bill would authorize a $25 fee if a judgment creditor files a motion for the court's assistance in executing or collecting the judgment, and costs recoverable may be enforced by any means available if the court assists with the enforcement of a child support order.

The Office of Court Administration indicates that any fiscal impact on the state court system cannot be determined due to lack of case-level data.
