Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB3786 by Oliverson (Relating to eligibility for community supervision of defendants convicted of certain burglary offenses.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure as it relates to the eligibility for community supervision of individuals convicted of certain burglary offenses. Under the provisions of the bill, individuals convicted of burglary of a habitation who knew at the time of the offense that another person was present in the habitation would no longer be eligible for jury-recommended community supervision.
The Office of Court Administration does not anticipate a significant fiscal impact on the state court system from implementing the provisions of the bill.
This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill addressing felony sanctions would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources. The bill would take effect September 1, 2017 and apply only to an offense committed on or after the effective date of the Act.
Local Government Impact
According to the Office of Court Administration, the bill would have no significant fiscal impact on local courts.
