Bill Caption

Relating to the electronic submission of required jail reports.

Fiscal Notes

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated

Bill Analysis

HB 3440 would require the Commission on Jail Standards to establish a system for for facilities to submit forms and data to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice electronically.  The commission could still allow facilities to submit required information via paper, but could charge a reasonable processing fee to do so.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action remains neutral on HB 3440 as it does not affect our liberty principles.
