April 18, 2015

TO:	Honorable Abel Herrero, Chair, House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB102 by Fletcher (relating to the creation of the offense of cargo theft.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Penal Code by creating the offense of cargo theft.  Under the provisions of the bill, cargo theft would be punishable at most felony degrees, with the punishment degree based on the specifics of the offense. This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on state correctional agencies, programs, or workloads.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
