Bill Caption
Relating to the inclusion of a magistrate's name on certain signed orders.
Fiscal Notes
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
HB 93 would require that a signed order issued by a magistrate under the law or any signed
order pertaining to a criminal matter that is issued by a magistrate
under the Family Code, the Government Code, or other law of this
state, must include the magistrate’s signature, name in legible handwriting, legible typewritten
form, or legible stamp print.
Vote Recommendation Notes
While this is somewhat of a procedural issue, it should help make government more transparent and the court system more efficient by making it easier to identify the court which issued an order of the type this bill relates to. This is in alignment with limited government. We support HB 93.
