Haven't heard much discussion of a BIG unfunded mandate in the Governor's anti-homeless legislation (#HB1925): If cops arrest under the statute, cities must store belongings at no charge. Will either be few arrests or significant ↑ costs. No space in overflowing evidence rooms. 
Unclear if they must store ppl's stuff when arresting for unpaid warrants based on Class C tickets under #HB1925. If not, it would defeat the purpose of the provision: It's inevitable most ppl who receive these tickets won't be able to pay.
Interestingly, the bill forbids cities from establishing policies that limit these arrests, so if and when costs start racking up, the Lege will have taken away their ability to limit this expense.
