IN RE:
HB1106 by Johnson (Relating to providing certain information to a criminal defendant at the time the defendant is placed on deferred adjudication community supervision and at the time of the dismissal of certain proceedings against the defendant.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure to require judges to inform certain criminal defendants of the right of the defendant to petition the court for an order of nondisclosure. Notice of this right would need to be given at two different points in the criminal process, if applicable. Providing defendants with this notice is not anticipated to increase the workload of the court system. Accordingly, no significant fiscal impact to the court system or the state is anticipated. The bill would take effect September 1, 2011.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
