LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD
Austin, Texas
 
CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT STATEMENT

87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 7, 2021

TO:
Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB2248 by Thompson, Senfronia (Relating to next generation 9-1-1 services provided through an Internet Protocol network and wireless service provider expense reimbursements for certain counties; imposing a fee.), As Introduced

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend Health and Safety Code as it relates to next generation 9-1-1 services provided through an Internet Protocol network and wireless service provider expense reimbursements for certain counties. Under the provisions of the bill, requirements for the provision of next generation 9-1-1 services provided through an Internet Protocol network and wireless service providers would be subject to expense reimbursements for certain counties and a fee would be authorized.  

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.
