TO: | Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Corrections |
FROM: | John McGeady, Assistant Director Sarah Keyton, Assistant Director Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB812 by White (Relating to the amount of the health care services fee paid by certain inmates.), As Introduced |
The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Government Code as it relates to the amount of the health care services fee paid by certain incarcerated individuals. Under the provisions of the bill, certain incarcerated individuals who initiate a visit to a health care provider will pay $3 per visit to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources. The 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.
