CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT STATEMENT

87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
May 10, 2021

TO:
Honorable Bryan Hughes, Chair, Senate Committee on State Affairs
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB29 by Swanson (Relating to authorizing the provision of temporary secure storage for weapons at certain public buildings; authorizing fees.), As Engrossed

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend various codes as they relate to temporary secure weapon storage for certain public buildings. Under the provisions of the bill, at certain state agency and political subdivision buildings, temporary secure storage of certain weapons could be implemented including measures for unclaimed weapons and options for fee collection.


This analysis assumes implementing 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.
