TO: | Honorable Abel Herrero, Chair, House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence |
FROM: | Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB71 by González, Mary (Relating to the prosecution of the offense of indecency with a child.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Penal Code to remove from the list of criteria for an affirmative defense to prosecution of indecency with a child, that a defendant who was not more than three years older than the victim be a member of the opposite sex. This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on state correctional agencies.
