John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB97 by Barrientos (Relating to requiring sex offenders released on community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision to maintain a certain distance from any premises where children frequently gather.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Government Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure requiring certain sex offenders released on community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision to not go in, or within 1,000 feet of premises where children commonly gather. The bill would also specify certain conditions in which the 1,000 feet of premises prohibition would not apply. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has determined that the cost of implementing the provisions of this bill would not be significant unless it has an impact on the availability of contracted vendors for sex offender placement.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
