IN RE:	HB3191 by Phillips (Relating to the penalty for delivery of certain miscellaneous substances under the Texas Controlled Substances Act; increasing a criminal penalty.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code to increase the penalty for the offense of delivery of certain miscellaneous substances under the Texas Controlled Substances Act for certain circumstances from a class A misdemeanor to a state jail felony. This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on state correctional agencies.

Local Government Impact

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