The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure allowing a judge to release a defendant convicted of a state jail felony to a medical care facility if the Texas Correctional Office on Offenders with Medical or Mental Impairments (TCOOMI) identifies the defendant as being elderly, physically disabled, mentally ill, terminally ill, or mentally retarded or having a condition requiring long-term care.  TCOOMMI estimates that 5-10 offenders per year would be affected by the bill. Assuming the same number of offenders in future years, implementation of this bill is not expected to have a significant impact on criminal justice populations.
