IN RE: | HB2933 by Vaught (Relating to requiring certain criminal defendants to make payments to the compensation to victims of crime fund.), As Introduced |
This bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure and require courts to impose an order on convicted defendants ineligible for parole under Government Code §508.145. The bill would require that the defendant make an annual payment to the GR-Dedicated Compensation to Victims of Crime Account No. 469. The annual payment would be equal to 1 percent or less of the defendant's inmate account on the anniversary of the defendant's incarceration in the custody of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. It is assumed that any costs and revenue generated by implementation of the bill would not be significant.
