      TO: Honorable Allen Place, Chair            IN RE:  Senate Bill No. 381, As Engrossed
          Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence                              By: Shapiro
          House
          Austin, Texas
         
         
         
         
         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SB381 ( Relating 
to the civil and criminal consequences of a grant of deferred 
adjudication for a sexual offense or a sexually assaultive offense 
and to the prosecution of certain defendants charged with or 
convicted of those offenses.) this office has detemined the 
following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SB381-As Engrossed
         
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 
          
The bill would increase the maximum length of community supervision 
from 10 years to 20 years for certain sexual offenses.  Because 
the bill would affect only offenders committing offenses after 
the effective date of the bill, no impact would occur until 
10 years following passage. Increased costs to the Texas Department 
of Criminal Justice after 10 years from the effective date of 
the bill would be contingent upon local sentencing practices.

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