Bill Caption
Relating to a temporary order appointing a receiver in a suit for dissolution of marriage.
Fiscal Notes
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
This bill would slightly modify the obligations of the court in lawsuits related to the dissolution of marriage. Under current law, while the suit is pending a receiver is appointed to preserve and protect the private property of both parties.
HB 2703 would require that within 30 days of appointing a receiver, the court must issue written findings of fact and conclusions of law in support of the appointment. In addition, if as a result of the appointment the court determines that a bond between the spouses is not necessary the court would have to include a written explanation for the decision.
Vote Recommendation Notes
This bill does not have a measurable impact on our liberty principles, therefore we will remain neutral.
