LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD
Austin, Texas
 
CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT STATEMENT

87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
March 16, 2021

TO:
Honorable Andrew S. Murr, Chair, House Committee on Corrections
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB930 by Sherman, Sr. (Relating to a report on recidivism rates.), As Introduced

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Government Code as it relates to reports on recidivism rates. Under the provisions of the bill, the Legislative Budget Board staff would be required to collaborate with the Department of Public Safety for the procurement of information necessary to produce a recidivism report which would include the level of detail specified in the bill's provisions.

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.
