Relating to the assistance and technology fund and use of money in the fund.

Fiscal Notes

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Bill Analysis

SB 1840 would authorize a county commissioners court to use the technology fund for court assistance, such as additional court personnel and training. It would also allow the $4 fee to be collected from an individual who receives deferred adjudication in the justice court, rather than only from individuals who has a sentence imposed on them or on whom the court defers final disposition.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action remains neutral on SB 1840 because it does not affect our liberty principles.
