FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB832 by Thompson, Senfronia (Relating to the duties and powers of peace officers.), As Introduced

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure as it relates to the duties and powers of peace officers. Under the provisions of the bill, certain peace officer arrest duties and powers would be modified.

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.
