John McGeady, Assistant Director     Sarah Keyton, Assistant Director
Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB3138 by Bowers (Relating to reporting of incidents of sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking on state property.), As Introduced

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Government Code to require the Texas Department of Public Safety to develop an online reporting system through which a person may report incidents of sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking on state property.

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.
