The provisions of the bill that are the subject of this analysis would amend the Penal Code as it relates to prosecution and punishment of official oppression by the intrusive touching of persons seeking access to public buildings and transportation. Under the provisions of the bill, certain public servants, which can include an agent of the United States, would commit an offense if the public servant performed a search without consent as outlined in the bill. The offense of official oppression as modified by the bill's provisions is punishable as a Class A misdemeanor.

A Class A misdemeanor is punishable by confinement in county jail for a term not to exceed one year and, in addition to confinement, an optional fine not to exceed $4,000. This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill addressing sanctions for a criminal offense would not result in a significant impact on state correctional populations or on the demand for state correctional resources.
