BILL ANALYSIS

 

 

 

C.S.H.B. 3016

By: Thompson, Senfronia

Criminal Jurisprudence

Committee Report (Substituted)

 

 

 

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

 

Interested parties note the stigma associated with a person's criminal record, even if the person was convicted of a low-level offense and subsequently becomes a productive member of society through law-abiding behavior. The goal of C.S.H.B. 3016 is to address this issue by extending eligibility for an order of nondisclosure of criminal history record information to these persons and by making related procedural changes.

 

CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT

 

It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly create a criminal offense, increase the punishment for an existing criminal offense or category of offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision.

 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

 

It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency, or institution.

 

ANALYSIS

 

C.S.H.B. 3016 amends the Government Code to make statutory provisions relating to an order of nondisclosure of criminal history record information applicable to the issuance of such an order for an offense committed before, on, or after September 1, 2017, but to make provisions relating to an automatic order of nondisclosure for a person who was placed on deferred adjudication community supervision for certain nonviolent misdemeanors applicable only to a person who receives a discharge and dismissal on or after September 1, 2017.

 

C.S.H.B. 3016 expands eligibility for a person placed on community supervision for a certain nonviolent offense to petition a court for an order of nondisclosure by including a person who meets existing eligibility requirements and whose conviction was for a state jail felony offense of possession of marihuana or a controlled substance listed in Penalty Group 1, 1-A, 2, or 2-A of the Texas Controlled Substances Act. The bill specifies that the period of community supervision a person must complete to so petition the court includes any term of confinement imposed and payment of all fines, costs, and restitution imposed. The bill authorizes a person whose conviction was for such a state jail felony and who was placed on community supervision to petition the court for an order of nondisclosure only on or after the fifth anniversary of the date of completion of the community supervision. The bill authorizes a person who was placed on deferred adjudication supervision for a nonviolent misdemeanor or state jail felony and who is not eligible to receive an order of nondisclosure solely because an affirmative finding that it is not in the best interest of justice that the defendant receive an automatic order of nondisclosure was filed in the papers of the case under the bill's provisions to file a petition for an order of nondisclosure under statutory provisions relating to an order of nondisclosure for a person placed on such supervision for a felony if the person otherwise satisfies the requirements of those provisions.

 

C.S.H.B. 3016 authorizes a person placed on community supervision, other than deferred adjudication supervision, following a conviction of a Class B misdemeanor driving while intoxicated offense whose community supervision is not revoked and who completes the period of community supervision and a person who is convicted of such an offense but is otherwise ineligible for an order of nondisclosure and who completes the person's sentence, including any term of confinement imposed and payment of all fines, costs, and restitution imposed, to petition the court that placed the person on community supervision or that imposed the sentence, as applicable, for an order of nondisclosure if the person satisfies the bill's requirements and the required conditions for receiving an order of nondisclosure, has never been previously convicted of or placed on deferred adjudication community supervision for another offense other than a fine-only traffic offense, and either successfully completed a condition of community supervision or the sentence, as applicable, or complied with a provision of a court order entered on or after the conviction, that for a period of not less than six months restricted the person's operation of a motor vehicle to a motor vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock device or agrees to comply with an order under the bill restricting the person's operation of a motor vehicle to a motor vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock device for a period of not less than six months. The bill requires such a petition for an order of nondisclosure to include evidence that the person is entitled to file the petition. The bill requires the court, after notice to the state, an opportunity for a hearing, and a determination that the person is entitled to file the petition and that issuance of an order of nondisclosure is in the best interest of justice, to issue an order prohibiting criminal justice agencies from disclosing to the public criminal history record information related to the offense giving rise to the community supervision or for which the person was convicted, as applicable, if the person has completed such a condition of community supervision or the sentence related to an ignition interlock device, or, as a condition of entering any future order of nondisclosure regarding a driving while intoxicated offense, to issue an order restricting the person's operation of a motor vehicle to a motor vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock device for a period of not less than six months if the person has agreed to comply with such an order.

 

C.S.H.B. 3016 requires the court that placed the person on community supervision or imposed the sentence to issue an order prohibiting criminal justice agencies from disclosing to the public criminal history record information related to the offense giving rise to the community supervision or of which the person was convicted, as applicable, on receiving evidence sufficient to the court that a person ordered to install and use an ignition interlock device under the bill successfully completed all of the terms of the order and that during the period following the issuance of that order the person has not been convicted of or placed on deferred adjudication community supervision for any offense other than a fine-only traffic offense. The bill prohibits a court from issuing such an order of nondisclosure or issuing an order restricting the person's operation of a motor vehicle to a vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock device if the attorney representing the state presents evidence sufficient to the court demonstrating that the commission of the offense for which the order is sought resulted in a motor vehicle accident involving another person, including a passenger in a motor vehicle operated by the person seeking the order. The bill authorizes a person to petition the court that placed the person on community supervision for an order of nondisclosure only on or after the second anniversary of the date of completion of the community supervision and authorizes a person who was not placed on community supervision to petition the court that imposed the sentence for an order of nondisclosure on or after the third anniversary of the date of completion of the person's sentence.

 

C.S.H.B. 3016 removes the condition that a person who is convicted of a misdemeanor and who was not placed on community supervision be sentenced to and serve a period of confinement to be eligible to apply for an order of nondisclosure and to instead add the condition that a person who was not placed on community supervision complete the person's sentence, including any term of confinement imposed and payment of all fines, costs, and restrictions imposed, before applying for such an order. The bill expands eligibility for a person convicted of an offense and who was not placed on community supervision to petition a court for an order of nondisclosure by including a person who meets existing eligibility requirements and whose conviction was for a state jail felony offense of possession of marihuana or a controlled substance listed in Penalty Group 1, 1-A, 2, or 2-A of the Texas Controlled Substances Act. The bill changes the initial date on which a person who was not placed on community supervision may petition the court for an order of nondisclosure from the second anniversary of the date of completion of the person's period of confinement for any applicable offense to on or after the date of completion of the person's sentence if the offense of which the person was convicted was a fine-only misdemeanor, the second anniversary of the date of completion of the person's sentence if the offense of which the person was convicted was any other misdemeanor, or the fifth anniversary of the date of completion of the person's sentence if the offense of which the person was convicted was a state jail felony.

 

C.S.H.B. 3016 specifies that the required conditions for receiving an order of nondisclosure apply to a person who is placed on community supervision and expands from a fine-only offense under the Transportation Code to any fine-only traffic offense the offenses that are excluded from the offenses that make a person ineligible for an order of nondisclosure. The bill expands the purposes for which a criminal justice agency may disclose criminal history record information that is the subject of an order of nondisclosure to include complying with a requirement under federal law or if federal law requires the disclosure as a condition of receiving federal highway funds.

 

C.S.H.B. 3016 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to require a judge who places on deferred adjudication community supervision a defendant charged with a misdemeanor other than a misdemeanor involving smuggling of a person, a sexual or assaultive offense, an offense against the family, disorderly conduct and related offenses, public indecency, weapon related offenses, or organized crime to make an affirmative finding of fact and file a statement of that affirmative finding with the papers in the case if the judge determines that it is not in the best interest of justice that the defendant receive an automatic order of nondisclosure of criminal history record information.

 

C.S.H.B. 3016 repeals Section 32, Chapter 1279 (S.B. 1902), Acts of the 84th Legislature, Regular Session, 2015, relating to the eligibility of criminal defendants for an order of nondisclosure of criminal history record information.
