Revision 1

April 20, 2021

TO:	Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety
FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB2650 by Johnson, Jarvis (Relating to law enforcement agency policies regarding the placement of a child taken into possession by a peace officer during the arrest of a person.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure to require each law enforcement agency to adopt a written policy regarding the safe placement of a child who is in the care, custody, or control of a person at the time the person is arrested.

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 and that any costs associated with the bill could be absorbed using existing resources.

Local Government Impact

According to the Texas Association of Counties, no significant fiscal impact to counties is anticipated.
