IN RE:
HB582 by Reyna (Relating to prohibiting stun guns.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Weapons Chapter of the Penal Code by including stun gun in the section defining weapons and would also include a stun gun in the offense of prohibited 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.
