CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT STATEMENT
 
86TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

TO:
Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Corrections
 
FROM:
John McGeady, Assistant Director     Sarah Keyton, Assistant Director
Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB2233 by White (Relating to the eligibility for certain occupational licenses and the use of a person's criminal history as grounds for certain actions related to the license.), As Introduced

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Occupations Code as it relates to the eligibility for certain occupational licenses and the use of a person's criminal history as grounds for certain actions related to the license. 

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.
