Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB2182 by Clardy (Relating to the collection and refunding of certain fees and deposits by a county clerk or district clerk; increasing certain fees.), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure relating to the collection, refunding of and amount of certain fees and deposits by a county or district clerk. The bill would permit a district clerk to assess the same fees allowed by the district clerk for performing services in district court cases in a case in a county court at law handled by the district clerk.
Local Government Impact
There would be a revenue increase to counties as a result of the provisions of the bill. The impact on counties would vary depending on a number of factors including, the number of individuals who post bail, if a county has a district clerk who serves as the clerk of certain cases handled by the county court at law, if a county commissioners court has authorized the collection of certain fees and the number of applicable cases in a county.
