Relating to the authority to request attorney general advice on questions relating to actions in which the state is interested.

Fiscal Notes

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Bill Analysis

SB 1339 would permit an attorney who serves as the head of the civil legal department for a county on the Mexican border with less than 400,000 people and one or more cities with more than 200,000 people to seek a written opinion from the Attorney General on an action to which the state is a party. This attorney would have to receive approval for the request from their county commissioner's court.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action is neutral on SB 1339 as it does not touch directly upon any of our Liberty Principles.
