CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT STATEMENT
 
83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 28, 2013

TO:
Honorable Abel Herrero, Chair, House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence
 
FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB2573 by McClendon (Relating to making certain incompetency proceedings available for proceedings held to revoke community supervision granted to a defendant in a criminal case.), As Introduced

The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure dealing with incompetency to stand trial to include any proceedings in the case that relate to a revocation of deferred adjudication community supervision under Section 5(b), Article 42.12. This chapter would also apply to the revocation of community supervision of a defendant described above convicted after restoration of the defendant's competency.

The bill would also require the head of the facility or outpatient treatment program to provide notice to the community supervision and corrections department (CSCD) responsible for supervising the defendant if the defendant was serving a term of community supervision after conviction of a felony offense immediately before the most recent determination of competency.

No significant impact on the programs and workload of state corrections agencies or on the demand for resources and services of those agencies is anticipated from any provisions of this bill that authorize or require a change in the sanctions applicable to adults convicted of felony crimes.
