CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT STATEMENT

87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
March 25, 2021

TO:
Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB323 by King, Phil (Relating to a law enforcement agency accreditation grant program.), As Introduced

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Government Code as it relates to a law enforcement agency accreditation grant program.  Under the provisions of the bill, the criminal justice division shall establish and administer a grant program to provide financial assistance to law enforcement agencies pursuing or maintaining accreditation.

This analysis assumes 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.
