Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB3315 by Crockett (Relating to the creation of a pretrial intervention program for certain youth offenders; authorizing a fee.), As Introduced
The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Government Code by creating a pretrial intervention program for certain young individuals and authorize a fee. Under the provisions of the bill, certain young individuals who meet the eligibility criteria would be allowed to participate in a pretrial intervention program under the supervision of local community supervision and corrections departments.
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.
