Honorable Terry Keel, Chair, House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence
FROM:
John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB878 by Hupp (Relating to the application of criminal trespass laws to persons licensed to carry a concealed handgun.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Penal Code by providing exceptions to the prosecution of individuals for the offense of criminal trespass, and the offense of trespass by holder of a license to carry a concealed handgun. Providing exceptions to the prosecution of individuals for offenses would result in fewer prosecutions and would not result in additional fiscal implications to the State.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
