FISCAL NOTE, 84TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 24, 2015

TO:	Honorable Abel Herrero, Chair, House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB2291 by Parker (Relating to increasing the punishment for certain persons convicted of the offense of possession or promotion of child pornography.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Penal Code to enhance, for those with previous convictions, the punishment for the offenses of possession or promotion of child pornography.  This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant fiscal impact on state correctional agencies.

Local Government Impact

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