TO: | Honorable Jerry Madden, Chair, House Committee on Corrections |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB975 by Haggerty (Relating to computation of the time certain defendants are required to serve in confinement following the revocation of community supervision.), As Introduced |
This bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure to allow a judge to give an offender credit for time served on community supervision at the time of revocation. This bill would apply only to those offenders whose revocation of community supervision occurred on or after the effective date of this bill.
Depending on the application of the provision of the bill it is possible the reduction in the term of incarceration for offenders whose community supervision is revoked would result in a possibly lower correctional population. However, it is not expected to have a significant impact on criminal justice populations.
