The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure as it relates to the authority to arrest a person without a warrant. Under the provisions of the bill, a person other than a peace officer would not be able to arrest without a warrant another individual when certain offenses are committed in the person's presence or view as outlined in the bill.
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.
