Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend the Alcoholic Beverage Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure, and the Family Code to require a drug, alcohol, and substance abuse education program for certain minors adjudicated or placed on deferred disposition or community supervision for certain drug or alcohol related offenses. The bill requires the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) to be responsible for the certification of these programs, monitor and provide training to a person who provides program services, and adopt rules regarding these programs. DSHS may charge a nonrefundable application fee for program certification or renewal of program certification. No significant impact on the programs and workload of state corrections agencies or on the demand for resources and services of those agencies is anticipated from any provisions of this bill that authorize or require a change in the sanctions applicable to adults convicted of felony crimes, or to juveniles who have been adjudicated for misdemeanor or felony conduct.
