IN RE:
HB3697 by Farrar (relating to notice provided by an applicant to house inmates released on parole or to mandatory supervision.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Government Code to require that an applicant to participate as a provider of housing to offenders released on parole or mandatory supervision give notice to certain facilities, primarily schools, of the proposed housing location and submit that information to the Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). TDCJ indicates it could absorb the costs associated with the bill within its current resources. The bill would go into effect September 1, 2017.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
