TO: | Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Corrections |
FROM: | John McGeady, Assistant Director Sarah Keyton, Assistant Director Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB2158 by White (Relating to certain programs and services for inmates and state jail felony defendants, including the creation of a work release program and the availability of peer support services.), As Introduced |
The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Government Code as it relates to certain programs and services for inmates and state jail felony defendants, including the creation of a work release program and the availability of peer support services.
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. This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on state correctional populations or the demand for state correctional resources.
