LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION March 27, 2011 TO: Honorable Byron Cook, Chair, House Committee on State Affairs FROM: John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB1466 by Hernandez Luna (Relating to authorizing a suit to declare that certain young people have been abused, neglected, or abandoned and extending the jurisdiction of certain courts making such a declaration.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Family Code by codifying federal law concerning special immigrant status, including provisions that allow abused, neglected, or abandoned immigrant young adults to stay in a court's jurisdiction through the person's 21st birthday. According to the Office of Court Administration, because courts already hear cases concerning children entitled to special immigrant status under requirements of federal law, and as the bill would mirror existing federal requirements, no significant fiscal implication to the courts or the sate is anticipated. The bill would take immediate effect if the bill receives two-thirds the vote of all members in both houses. Otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2011. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
