LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 85TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION March 21, 2017 TO: Honorable John Whitmire, Chair, Senate Committee on Criminal Justice FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:SB998 by West (Relating to the statute of limitations for the offense of exploitation of a child, elderly individual, or disabled individual.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure to add exploitation of a child, elderly individual, or disabled individual to the list of offenses with a statute of limitation of seven years. The Office of Court Administration indicates it does not anticipate a significant fiscal impact to the state court system. This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill addressing felony sanctions would not result in a significant impact on state correctional agencies. The bill would take effect September 1, 2017 and would not apply to an offense if the prosecution of that offense becomes barred by limitation before the effective date of the Act. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
