| IN RE: | HB2728 by Talton (Relating to violations of certain conditions of parole or mandatory supervision; providing criminal penalties.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Penal Code by creating the offense of failure to comply with conditions of parole or mandatory supervision, which would be punishable as a state jail felony. A person would commit the offense if the person fails certain conditions of release, or fails to report to a parole officer as required on two consecutive occasions.
A state jail felony is punishable by confinement in a state jail for any term of not more than two years or less than 180 days, or, in addition to confinement, a fine not to exceed $10,000.
It is assumed that this bill would not significantly affect the fiscal operations of state government.| Source Agencies: | 696 Department of Criminal Justice
