IN RE:
HB3106 by Goldman (Relating to a requirement that law enforcement agencies enter into the Texas Data Exchange information related to investigations of sexual assault or other sex offenses.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Government Code to require a law enforcement agency that identifies a person as a suspect in the investigation of a sexual assault or other sex offense to enter certain information into the Texas Data Exchange. The bill also specifies procedures for removal of information from the Texas Data Exchange and exempts information from certain disclosures.
According to the Department of Public Safety, no fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
According to the Office of the Attorney General (OAG), the bill would require the office to enter additional information into the Texas Data Exchange for suspects under investigation of sexual assault or other sex offenses. It is assumed that the provisions of the bill relating to OAG could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
