House Bill 1759 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to authorize a jury to recommend community supervision for a defendant who has been convicted of a state jail felony, unless the imposition of the sentence is automatically suspended and community supervision is ordered under the law. The bill also removes a provision that authorized a judge to impose a certain period of confinement as a condition of community supervision for a state jail felony.
