Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB2754 by Allen (Relating to post-release housing for inmates released on parole or to mandatory supervision.), As Introduced
The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Government Code as it relates to post-release housing for inmates released onto parole or mandatory supervision. The bill would modify certain Texas Department of Criminal Justice requirements for temporary post-release housing for certain releases and reporting requirements as outlined in the bill.
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.
