CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT STATEMENT

87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 28, 2021

TO:
Honorable Chris Turner, Chair, House Committee on Business & Industry
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB3422 by Morrison (relating to restrictions under disaster remediation contracts; providing a civil penalty.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Business and Commerce Code as it relates to restrictions under disaster remediation contracts. Under the provisions of the bill, a disaster remediation contractor who engages in activities that violate certain sections of the Business and Commerce Code would incur a civil penalty. 

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.
