      TO: Honorable John Whitmire, Chair            IN RE:  House Bill No. 818, As Engrossed
          Committee on Criminal Justice                              By: Cuellar
          Senate
          Austin, Texas
         
         
         
         
         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on HB818 (  Relating 
to a study of the incidence of dual supervision of certain persons 
by the pardons and paroles division of the Texas Department 
of Criminal Justice and community supervision and corrections 
departments.) this office has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB818-As Engrossed
         
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 
          
The bill would partially implement Texas Performance Review 
(TPR) recommendation PSC5 in Disturbing the Peace:   The Challenge 
of Change in Texas Government regarding the elimination of dual 
supervision of offenders.  While the bill would not eliminate 
dual supervision, it would require TDCJ to use the community 
supervision tracking system to provide data on the incidence, 
duration, and geographic distribution of dual supervision cases 
prior to the next session of the Legislature. 

No significant 
fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
