IN RE:
HB2145 by Allen (Relating to information on classes or programs required to be completed before an inmate is released on parole.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Government Code as it relates to the internet publication of certain information relating to classes and programs required for release on parole. According to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and the Board of Pardons and Paroles, the costs associated with the bill's provisions could be absorbed using existing resources.
This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on state correctional populations or on the demand for state correctional resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
