LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD
Austin, Texas
 
CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT STATEMENT

87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 14, 2021

TO:
Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB368 by Sherman, Sr. (Relating to the issuance of a driver's license to a state legislator or prosecutor that includes an alternative to the license holder's residence address.), As Introduced

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Transportation Code as it relates to driver's licenses. Under the provisions of the bill, certain individuals would be eligible to be issued a driver's license that omits the driver's actual residence address and includes an alternative address 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.
