FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION


March 29, 2021

TO:	Honorable Nicole Collier, Chair, House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence

FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board

IN RE:	HB3875 by Crockett (Relating to narrowing the definition of the offense of compelling prostitution.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Penal Code as it relates to the offense of compelling prostitution. Under the provisions of the bill, a person would commit an offense if the person knowingly caused another by force, threat, coercion, or fraud to commit prostitution, regardless of the age of the one committing prostitution.

The Office of Court Administration and Texas 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

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