Bill Caption
Relating to the creation of truancy masters for Bell County.
Fiscal Notes
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
HB 452 would allow the Commissioners Court of Bell County to appoint truancy masters. Truancy masters would have concurrent jurisdiction with justice of the peace court judges over truant matters and would have the same judicial immunity as district court judges.
Vote Recommendation Notes
Texas Action remains neutral on HB 452 because it does not affect our liberty principles.
