LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD
Austin, Texas
 
CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT STATEMENT

87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 7, 2021

TO:
Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB4300 by Dean (Relating to a biennial report by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement regarding peace officer salaries.), As Introduced

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Occupations Code as it relates to a biennial report by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) regarding peace officer salaries. Under the provisions of the bill, TCOLE would be required to submit a report regarding peace officer salaries as outlined in the bill. 

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.
