CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT STATEMENT

87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
May 6, 2021

TO:
Honorable Andrew S. Murr, Chair, House Committee on Corrections
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB2442 by White (Relating to the creation of the Justice Reinvestment Incentive Program.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Local Government Code as it relates to the creating of a Justice Reinvestment Incentive Program.  

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.
