Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB461 by Shaheen (Relating to the execution of a warrant issued for certain releasees who violate a condition of release on parole or to mandatory supervision.), As Introduced
The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the government code as it relates to the execution of a warrant issued for certain releasees who violate a condition of release on parole or to mandatory supervision. Under the provisions of the bill, law enforcement agencies would be required to comply with executing a warrant for individuals with certain program violations.
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.
