LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION April 4, 2013 TO: Honorable John Whitmire, Chair, Senate Committee on Criminal Justice FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:SB743 by Nelson (Relating to the penalties prescribed for repeated violations of certain court orders or conditions of bond in a family violence case. ), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Penal Code by creating the offense of repeated violation of certain court orders or conditions of bond in a family violence case, which would be punishable as a felony of the third degree. The offense would be committed if, during a period that is 12 months or less in duration, the person two or more times engages in conduct that constitutes a violation of certain court orders or conditions of bond in a family violence case. The bill would also amend the Penal Code by providing clarification related to trier of fact, and convictions related to the same criminal offense. The bill would take effect September 1, 2013 and apply only to an offense committed on or after that date. For this analysis, it is assumed the number of offenders convicted under these statutes would not result in a significant impact on the programs and workload of State corrections agencies or on the demand for resources and services of those agencies. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
