TO:
Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
SB2212 by West (Relating to the duty of a peace officer to request and render aid for an injured person.), As Engrossed

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure as it relates to the duty of a peace officer to request and render aid for an injured person. 

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.
