FISCAL NOTE, 84TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 15, 2015

TO:	Honorable Abel Herrero, Chair, House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB333 by Longoria (Relating to certain procedures for defendants who successfully complete a period of state jail felony 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 certain procedures for defendants who successfully complete a period of state jail felony community supervision. The bill specifies procedures for judicial modification of conviction records to reflect a Class A misdemeanor conviction rather than a state jail felony conviction in certain instances. 

It is assumed implementing the bill's provisions would not significantly impact state correctional agency resources. This analysis assumes district courts should be able to absorb any additional workload with existing resources and does not anticipate any significant fiscal impact on the court system resulting from the bill.

Local Government Impact

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