HOUSE BILL 2918 |
HOUSE AUTHOR: Place et al. |

SENATE SPONSOR: Whitmire |
House Bill 2918 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to authorize judges to extend the period of community supervision for up to 10 years for certain sex offenders and to define electronic monitoring that may be used to assist in the oversight of individuals under community supervision. It requires the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) to establish a program to provide super-intensive supervision for certain parolees. The act also allows TDCJ to separately classify inmates determined to need treatment and to require those inmates to diligently participate in treatment and makes the award of good conduct time dependent on such participation.
