CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT STATEMENT

87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
March 29, 2021

TO:
Honorable Andrew S. Murr, Chair, House Committee on Corrections
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB3432 by Murr (Relating to the civil commitment of sexually violent predators.), As Introduced

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend various codes as they relate to the civil commitment of sexually violent predators.  Under the provisions of the bill, the Texas Civil Commitment Office would be required to report certain information to the primary reporting authority when a person civilly committed as a sexually violent predator changes their address.  

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.
