John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB3031 by McClendon (Relating to granting certain persons convicted of a felony deferred adjudication community supervision.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure as it relates to community supervision for certain felony offenders. Under the provisions of the bill, certain 3g offenders (those who would also be eligible for deferred adjudication) would be eligible for shock incarceration or temporary incarceration in state boot camp and subsequent placement on deferred adjudication. Offenders who are not eligible for deferred adjudication either because their offense makes them ineligible or because they have a previous conviction for an offense that would make them ineligible for deferred adjudication would not be subject to the provisions of the bill.
The bill would take effect on September 1, 2011 and apply to a defendant inititally placed on community supervision on or after that date. The bill is not anticipated to 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.
