House Bill 714 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure, Government Code, and Labor Code to make a defendant who is a veteran of the U.S. armed forces and placed on community supervision for a misdemeanor offense eligible to participate in a veterans reemployment program. The bill sets out the content of the workplace skills training program, which must be developed or approved by the Texas Workforce Commission, and program completion criteria. The bill requires the court, on a defendant's successful completion of the program and after all other conditions of community supervision are met, to enter an order of nondisclosure with respect to all records of the offense for which the defendant was placed on community supervision.
