| IN RE: | SB1531 by Hancock (Relating to the eligibility for certain occupational licenses and the use of a person's criminal history as grounds for certain actions related to the license.), As Engrossed |
The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Occupations Code to eliminate the conviction for certain criminal offenses as a basis for certain actions related to certain occupational licenses.
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.
