CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT STATEMENT

87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 23, 2021

TO:
Honorable Nicole Collier, Chair, House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB3926 by Hefner (Relating to the inclusion of temporary vehicle tags in the offense of tampering with a governmental record.), As Introduced

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend various codes as they relate to tampering with a governmental record and automatic driver's license revocation.  Under the provisions of the bill, the definition of governmental record  would be expanded to include a temporary tag, and a conviction for the offense of tampering with a governmental record when the record was a temporary tag would result in an automatic driver's license revocation.

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.
