TO:
Honorable Bryan Hughes, Chair, Senate Committee on State Affairs
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB1262 by Bowers (Relating to training for certain peace officers regarding techniques to facilitate interactions with homeless individuals.), As Engrossed

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Occupations Code as it relates to training for certain peace officers regarding techniques to facilitate interactions with homeless individuals. 

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.
