Honorable Joe Driver, Chair, House Committee on Law Enforcement
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB3353 by Driver (Relating to the continuation of criminal offenses involving the interception of certain communications for law enforcement purposes.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Penal Code by repealing the language specifying the expiration date of the section which addresses offenses related to the unlawful interception, use, or disclosure of wire, oral, or electronic communications. Due to the small number of admissions to TDCJ for an offense under this section, repealing the section of the Penal Code as proposed in this bill is not expected result in a significant impact on the programs and workload of state corrections agencies.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
