TO: Honorable John Whitmire, Chair IN RE: Senate Bill No. 267
Committee on Criminal Justice By: Shapiro
Senate
Austin, Texas
FROM: John Keel, Director
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on Senate Bill No.
267 (Relating to sex offender registration and public
notification of the release of a sex offender into the community;
creating offenses and providing criminal penalties.) this office
has determined the following:
The bill would make no appropriation but could provide the legal
basis for an appropriation of funds to implement the provisions
of the bill.
The bill expands the reporting requirements for the Sex Offender
Registration Program administered by the Department of Public
Safety. The bill also expands the pre-release notification
requirements.
The probable fiscal implication of implementing the provisions of
the bill during each of the first five years following passage
is estimated as follows:
Fiscal Probable Cost Out Change in
Year of General Number of State
Revenue Fund 001 Employees from
FY 1995
1996 $64,007 2.0
1997 51,071 2.0
1998 50,671 2.0
1999 50,671 2.0
2000 50,671 2.0
Similar annual fiscal implications would continue as long as the
provisions of the bill are in effect.
The fiscal implication to units of local government cannot be
determined.
