CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT STATEMENT

87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
March 24, 2021

TO:
Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB918 by Leman (Relating to a license to carry a handgun for certain young adults who are protected under certain court orders related to family violence.), As Introduced

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Government Code as it relates to eligibility for a license to carry a handgun. Under the provisions of the bill, young adults who are protected under certain court orders and meet all other requirements would be eligible for a license to carry a handgun.

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.
