TO: | Honorable Aaron Pena, Chair, House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB3692 by Straus (Relating to the denial of bail to a person who violates certain court orders or conditions of bond related to victim or community safety.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Penal Code regarding court procedures and arrests related to violations of the conditions of bond set in a family violence case and denial of bail.
The bill would apply only to an offense committed on or after the effective date of the bill, which would be January 1, 2008, but only if the constitutional amendment that would authorize denial of bail in the circumstances described in the bill proposed by the Eightieth Legislature, Regular Session, 2007, passes and is approved by the voters. Otherwise, the provisions of the bill would have no effect.
