LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD
Austin, Texas
CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT STATEMENT
87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
May 12, 2021
TO:
Honorable Bryan Hughes, Chair, Senate Committee on State Affairs
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB781 by Sanford (Relating to the carrying and possession of a handgun by a public junior college school marshal.), As Engrossed
The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Education Code as it relates to the carrying and possession of a handgun by a public junior college school marshal.
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.
