TO:
Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB69 by Miles (Relating to prohibiting peace officers from using neck restraints during a search or arrest.), As Engrossed
The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure as it relates to prohibiting peace officers from using neck restraints during a search or arrest.
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.
