FROM:
John McGeady, Assistant Director     Sarah Keyton, Assistant Director
Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB2559 by Bowers (relating to the issuance of a summons for certain persons charged with a violation of a condition of release on parole or to mandatory supervision.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Government Code as it relates to the issuance of a summons for certain persons charged with a violation of a condition of release on parole or to mandatory supervision. 

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.
