The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Government Code as it relates to the organization of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and to contracts for correctional facilities and services. Under the provisions of the bill, the department would be prohibited from housing or confining certain incarcerated individuals in certain private facilities, and would further be prohibited from entering into contracts to house or confine such individuals in facilities owned, operated, or managed by a private vendor. 

This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on state correctional populations or on the demand for state correctional resources. The bill does not expressly create a felony offense, increase the punishment for an existing misdemeanor to that of a felony, increase the punishment for an existing felony offense or category of felony level offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for felony community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision.
