CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT STATEMENT
 
86TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
May 14, 2019

TO:
Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Corrections
 
FROM:
John McGeady, Assistant Director     Sarah Keyton, Assistant Director
Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
SB550 by West (Relating to the eligibility of certain criminal defendants for an order of nondisclosure of criminal history record information.), As Engrossed

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Government Code to allow certain persons placed on community supervision to petition the court that placed them on community supervision for an order of nondisclosure of criminal history record information.

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.
