O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB3148 by Smith, Todd (Relating to exempting certain young persons who are convicted of an offense involving consensual sex from the requirement of registering as a sex offender in this state. ), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure to exempt certain individuals from the duty toregister as a sex offender if certain age requirements are met, and also provides certain conditions under which a person may petition the court for an order expempting the person from registration. Provisions related to reportable convictions or adjudications related to sex offender registration programs would also be affected by the bill.
