TO: | Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Corrections |
FROM: | John McGeady, Assistant Director Sarah Keyton, Assistant Director Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB2481 by Metcalf (relating to the administration of a veterans treatment court program.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Government Code as it relates to the veterans treatment court program. Under the provisions of the bill, a defendant placed into a veterans treatment court program would be allowed to attend the program in a county other than the one in which the defendant works or resides.
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.
