Bill Caption
Relating to the right of certain appellants to supersede a judgement or order on appeal.
Fiscal Notes
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
This bill would require the supreme court to adopt rules to clarify that certain appellants have the right to supersede a judgement or appeal. If this bill passes, the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure would be modified to spell out that the state’s right to supersede a judgement or order cannot be affected by counter-supersedeas. This would apply to appellants who are representing the state of Texas, a department of this state, or the head of a department.
Vote Recommendation Notes
This bill's major impact would be formalizing certain rules into the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. SB 1441 does not have a measurable impact on our liberty principles, therefore we will remain neutral.
