TO:
Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB3316 by Crockett (Relating to the duties of peace officers investigating a family violence allegation or responding to a disturbance call that may involve family violence.), As Introduced

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure as it relates to the duties of peace officers investigating a family violence allegation or responding to a disturbance call that may involve family violence.  Under the provisions of the bill, peace officer requirements when responding to disturbance calls that may involve family violence or peace officers investigating allegations of family violence would be amended.

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.
