| TO: | Honorable Terry Keel, Chair, House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence |
| FROM: | John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
| IN RE: | SB140 by Ellis, Rodney (Relating to the regulation of certain visual images; providing a criminal penalty.), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted |
The provision of the bill that is the subject of this analysis would amend the Penal Code by adding to the conditions that comprise the offense of improper photography or visual recording. The offense of improper photography or visual recording is punishable as a state jail felony.
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 the additional number of offenders convicted under this statute would not result in a significant impact on the programs and workload of state corrections agencies or on the demand for resources and services of those agencies.
