TO: | Honorable Aaron Pena, Chair, House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB2304 by Talton (Relating to taking or attempting to take a weapon from an employee or official of a correctional facility that is operated by a county.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Penal Code by changing the definition of the offense of taking or attempting to take weapon from peace officer, parole officer, or community supervision and corrections department officer to include employees or officials of correctional facilities operated by a county.
For this analysis it is assumed that the 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.
