No significant fiscal implication to the State or local government.
Bill Analysis
SB 812 would amend Family Code to authorize a judge having jurisdiction of a suit under Title 5 (The Parent-Child Relationship), Title 1 (Marriage Relationship), Chapter 45 (Change of Name), or Title 4 (Protective Orders) to appoint a full-time or part-time associate judge to perform those duties authorized by law. This bill would add in Chapter 45 (Change of Name) to the existing code.
Vote Recommendation Notes
This bill would neither affirm nor abridge our liberty principles,
therefore we are neutral on this legislation. This is an administrative
decision for the legislature.
