The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure as it relates to certain offenses involving animals.  Under the provisions of the bill, defendants sentenced to community supervision for certain animal-related offenses would receive specific prohibitions against contact with animals and would be required to receive appropriate treatment.

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 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.
