87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 19, 2021

TO:
Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB1758 by Krause (Relating to law enforcement's use of force by means of a drone.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend various codes as they relate to law enforcement's use of force by means of a drone. 

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.
