IN RE:
HB870 by Thompson, Senfronia (Relating to the date on which certain persons placed on deferred adjudication community supervision are eligible to file a petition for an order of nondisclosure of criminal history record information.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Government Code to change, from two years to one year, the period of time a person must wait after discharge from deferred adjudication community supervision before filing a petition for an order of nondisclosure for certain misdemeanor offenses and state jail felony offenses involving the possession of certain controlled substances. Under the bill's provisions, the waiting period for all other felonies, including all other state jail felonies, is reduced from five to three years.
Based on the analysis of the Office of Court Administration and Department of Public Safety, it is assumed that duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the bill could be accomplished utilizing available resources. In addition, no significant fiscal impact to the state court system is anticipated with the implementation of 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.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
