FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 6, 2009

TO:	Honorable Jim McReynolds, Chair, House Committee on Corrections
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB3671 by Sheffield (Relating to the documents that are required for the transfer of a defendant from a county to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure to remove the requirement to include a copy of the record of arrest for each offense in the documents that must be provided when transferring a defendant from a county to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Local Government Impact

Counties would experience a slight savings in administrative costs associated with the current requirement to include copies of arrest records.

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
