HB582 by Reyna (Relating to the prosecution of the offense of taking or attempting to take a stun gun from a peace officer, parole officer, or community supervision and corrections department officer.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Penal Code by expanding the offense of taking or attempting to take weapon from peace officer, parole officer, or community supervision and corrections department officer to include a stun gun in the section defining weapons. The fiscal impact of the bill would depend on the future number of persons convicted under the proposed provision. It is assumed that implementation of the bill would not have a significant impact on the costs of state government.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
