House Bill 1884	House Author:  Anderson, Charles "Doc"
Effective:  9-1-17	Senate Sponsor:  Kolkhorst

            House Bill 1884 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure and Health and Safety Code to require a court to require a defendant convicted of certain littering offenses to perform community service that consists of picking up litter or working at a recycling facility, as applicable. The bill provides for a court's discretion in the amount of community service hours ordered for such offenses and authorizes a court to credit the amount of community service performed for such an offense toward any amount of community service the defendant is otherwise ordered to perform as a result of the defendant's inability to pay a fine or cost imposed in the judgment for the applicable offense.
