FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 11, 2021

TO:	Honorable Nicole Collier, Chair, House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence
FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB3111 by Meyer (Relating to the criminal offense of online solicitation relating to a minor; creating a criminal offense.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Penal Code to revise the definition of the criminal offense of online solicitation of a minor. Under the provisions of this bill, the definition of the criminal offense of online solicitation of a minor would be amended and conforming changes would be made.  

The Office of Court Administration and the Department of Criminal Justice indicate the modifications outlined in the bill's provisions would not result in a significant fiscal impact. This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill addressing felony sanctions would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
