| IN RE: | HB2607 by King, Ken (Relating to checkpoints established by the Department of Public Safety at roadways entering this state from New Mexico or Oklahoma.), As Introduced |
The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Government Code as it relates establishing checkpoints at roadways entering this state. Under the provisions of the bill, the Department of Public Safety would establish a program for state border crossing checkpoints as outlined in the bill.
This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on state correctional populations or 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.
