Estimated Two-year Net Impact to General Revenue Related Funds for HB 1930, Committee Report 1st House, Substituted: a negative impact of ($300,000) through the biennium ending August 31, 2023.
The bill would make no appropriation but could provide the legal basis for an appropriation of funds to implement the provisions of the bill.
HB 1930 would require each justice court in the state to include, in their monthly report to the Texas Judicial Council, each case involving a dispute between a landlord and a tenant, such as eviction suits, utility disconnection suits, and suits involving security deposits, among others. The Office of Court Administration would be required to publish the information on their Internet website.
Texas Action is neutral on HB 1930 as it does not touch directly upon any of our Liberty Principles.
