 Fiscal Analysis

The bill would require the Comptroller, in coordination with the Health and Human Services Commission and the Department of State Health Services, to conduct a study on the impact of administrative segregation on inmates confined in facilities operated by, or under contract with, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The bill would require the Comptroller to prepare and submit the report and any recommendations to the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Speaker, each standing committee of the Legislature having primary jurisdiction over the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the Legislative Budget Board by December 1, 2022.

 Methodology

According to the Comptroller, the agency does not have the subject matter expertise necessary to complete the study, and therefore would incur a one-time contracting cost of $500,000 in fiscal year 2022 to contract with an outside entity to conduct the study.This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on state correctional populations or on the demand for state correctional resources.
