HB72 by Reynolds (Relating to the power of certain counties to enact certain park use rules; changing a criminal penalty.), As Passed 2nd House |
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Among other provisions, the bill would remove the Class C misdemeanor offense for violating a rule set by a county commissioners court concerning the use of any park administered by the park board and would instead make a person who violated such a rule liable to the county for a civil penalty of not more than $100 per violation.
Local Government Impact
According to the Texas Association of Counties, no significant fiscal impact to counties is anticipated.
A Class C misdemeanor is punishable by a fine of not more than $500. In addition to the fine, punishment can include up to 180 days of deferred disposition. Lost revenue from reduced fines imposed and collected is not anticipated to have a significant fiscal impact.
