Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend the Government Code and authorizes the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) impose and collect an administrative fee from the outside attorney or law firms to review state agency invoices relating to the use of outside legal services. In addition, the OAG is authorized to establish rules as necessary to implement, adjust and administer the fee.
Methodology
The OAG indicates that the amount of new revenue generated, and deposited to the General Revenue Fund, to review state agency invoices relating to the use of outside legal services would be $224,532 per fiscal year.
