CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT STATEMENT

87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
May 4, 2021

TO:
Honorable Andrew S. Murr, Chair, House Committee on Corrections
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
SB48 by Zaffirini (Relating to conditions of community supervision for defendants convicted of certain criminal offenses involving animals.), As Engrossed

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure as it relates to conditions of community supervision for defendants convicted of certain criminal offenses involving animals. Under the provisions of the bill, the offenses for which certain conditions of community supervision apply would be expanded.  

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.
