| IN RE: | HB477 by Farrar (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.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
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.
No significant impact on the programs and workload of state corrections agencies or on the demand for resources and services of those agencies is anticipated from any provisions of this bill that authorize or require a change in the sanctions applicable to adults convicted of felony crimes.
