CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT STATEMENT

87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 10, 2021

TO:
Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB3395 by Ashby (Relating to the knowledge test required for a commercial driver’s license.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Transportation Code related to the knowledge test required for obtaining a commercial driver's license.  Under the provisions of the bill, additional requirements would be provided to certain individuals testing to obtain a commercial driver's license.

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.
