TO:
Honorable Bryan Hughes, Chair, Senate Committee on Jurisprudence
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
SB1734 by West (Relating to status of certain documents or instruments purporting to convey title to or an interest in real property.), As Introduced

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

The bill would create a new filing mechanism for an owner of real property to challenge certain fraudulent conveyances of real property and would prohibit district clerks from collecting a filing fee connected to the motion for action on a fraudulent conveyance. 

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.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
