| IN RE: | HB1234 by Smith, Todd (Relating to a defendant's eligibility to be placed on deferred adjudication for certain intoxication offenses and to the consequences of that deferred adjudication.), As Introduced |
This bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure making offenders convicted of assembling or operating an amusement ride while intoxicated (49.065, Penal Code) ineligible for judge-ordered deferred adjudication community supervision.
In fiscal year 2005 less than ten offenders were placed on deferred adjudication community supervision for assembling or operating an amusement ride while intoxicated. 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.
