CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT STATEMENT

87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 1, 2021

TO:
Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB2911 by White (Relating to Next Generation 9-1-1 service and certain wireless service provider administrative expense reimbursements and increasing a fee cap.), As Introduced

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Health and Safety Code related to Next Generation 9-1-1 service and certain wireless service provider administrative expense reimbursements. Under the provisions of the bill, a target date would be set for implementation of Next Generation 9-1-1 service across the state of Texas and related adjustments would be made to fees.

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.
