LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION May 15, 2009 TO: Honorable John Whitmire, Chair, Senate Committee on Criminal Justice FROM: John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB3481 by Veasey (Relating to the right to an expunction of records and files relating to a person's arrest.), As Engrossed No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure to remove the requirement for the statute of limitations to run before expunging a misdemeanor arrest, by changing language that forces the statute of limitations to be tied specifically to a felony arrest. The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all members elected to each house. If it does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, the bill would take effect September 1, 2009. The analysis assumes that implementing the provisions of the bill would not pose a significant fiscal impact to the state. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
