No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to allow a retail merchant to offer a person suspected of stealing or attempting to steal from the merchant an opportunity to complete a theft education program instead of reporting the person to law enforcement.
Based on information provided by the Office of Court Administration, any costs associated with the bill could be absorbed using existing resources.
This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources. The bill does not expressly create a felony offense, increase the punishment for an existing misdemeanor to that of a felony, increase the punishment for an existing felony offense or category of felony-level offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for felony community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision.
