LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION May 19, 2011 TO: Honorable Pete Gallego, Chair, House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence FROM: John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:SB462 by West (Relating to the expunction of records and files relating to a person's arrest. ), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would expand the circumstances by where a person who has been arrested for a felony or misdemeanor is entitled to an expunction, which may result in additional petitions for expunction being filed in the district courts. Provisions in the bill make ineligible from expunction a defendant who intentionally or knowingly absconds after being released following arrest. This bill would permit certain law enforcement agencies and prosecuting attorneys to retain arrest records of a person entitled to an expunction under certain circumstances. This analysis assumes that any agencies affected by this bill could implement the provisions of the bill within existing appropriations.
