ASSUMPTION
#Officials from the Office of State Courts Administrator assume the proposed legislation would provide procedures for reviews of actions by commissioners, and eliminate civil trial de novo, except for small claims, and require that any appeal be on the record. This proposal would eliminate the possibility for a second civil trial. This might result in a potential cost savings, but CTS is unable to estimate the amount. There should be no increase in costs. Therefore, CTS assumes the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agency.
