TO: | Honorable John Whitmire, Chair, Senate Committee on Criminal Justice |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB2112 by Patrick (Relating to the prosecution of an offense prohibiting the exhibition, use, or threatened exhibition or use of a firearm in or on school property or a school bus.), As Engrossed |
The bill would amend the exhibition of firearms penal provision of the Education Code by further defining the offense of exhibition of firearms. The offense of exhibition of firearms is punishable as a felony of the third degree.
A third degree felony is punishable by imprisonment in the institutional division for any term of not more than 10 years or less than 2 years, or in addition to confinement, a fine not to exceed $10,000.
For this analysis it is assumed that the number of additional 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.
