FROM: | Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB3985 by Dukes (Relating to the use of certain controlled substances to facilitate the commission of the offense of aggravated sexual assault.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Penal Code as it relates to the use of certain controlled substances to facilitate the commission of the offense of aggravated sexual assault. Under the provisions of the bill the definition of aggravated sexual assault would be expanded to include certain substances listed in the Texas Controlled Substances Act. The bill would also expand the list of Penalty Group 1 substances. This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on state correctional agencies.
