IN RE:
HB2734 by Madden (Relating to certain mandatory conditions of parole or mandatory supervision for illegal criminal aliens and the revocation of parole or mandatory supervision as a result of violating those conditions.), Conference Committee Report
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Government Code to require as a condition of parole or mandatory supervision that an illegal criminal alien leave the United States after release, and do not unlawfully return or unlawfully reenter. The bill would also amend the Government Code to authorize the parole panel to revoke without further hearing or determination the parole or mandatory supervision of an illegal criminal alien, except that requested by the releasee.
The bill would take effect on September 1, 2011 and apply only to a person who is released on parole or to mandatory supervision on or after that date.
The Board of Pardons and Paroles has determined that no fiscal impact can be determined as this bill is written. For this analysis, it is assumed the number of 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.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
