FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

The Office of the State Courts Administrator, Office of the Attorney General, and Office of the State Public Defender assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business

DESCRIPTION

The proposed legislation would provide that parent(s) who have filed a consent to the termination of parental rights do not have to be "noticed" regarding the petition.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program, and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
