TO: | Honorable Jeff Wentworth, Chair, Senate Committee on Jurisprudence |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | SB82 by Nelson (Relating to a fee imposed as a condition of community supervision for an offense involving family violence.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend Article 42.12, Code of Criminal Procedure, to require a defendant convicted of an offense involving family violence to pay $100 to a family violence center that serves the county in which the court is located. Under current statute, imposing the fee is up to the judge's discretion and is up to $100.
Because all fees are retained locally, there would be no revenue gain to the state.
