TO: | Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Corrections |
FROM: | John McGeady, Assistant Director Sarah Keyton, Assistant Director Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | SB1147 by Buckingham (Relating to conditions of community supervision applicable to certain intoxication offenses.), As Engrossed |
The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure as it relates to conditions of community supervision applicable to certain intoxication offenses. Under the provisions of the bill, a defendant convicted of certain intoxication offenses who is required, as a condition of community supervision, to submit to treatment for drug or alcohol dependency, would be further required to submit to an evaluation by a licensed physician to determine if the defendant would benefit from medication-based treatment.
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.
