TO:
Honorable Andrew S. Murr, Chair, House Committee on Corrections

Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB757 by Dutton (Relating to the consequences of receiving a grant of deferred adjudication community supervision and successfully completing the period of supervision.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure to prohibit the denial, suspension, or revocation of a professional license or certificate to a qualified individual based on completion of deferred adjudication community supervision by a defendant in certain cases. The bill would permit occupational licensing agencies to consider the deferred adjudication in certain instances when issuing, renewing, denying, or revoking a license.

Based on the analysis of the Office of Court Administration, Texas Workforce Commission, and the Department of Family and Protective Services, duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished utilizing existing resources.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
