(This amendment provides funding from the general fund in the first year for House Bill 280 which creates a process by which persons convicted of certain felony marijuana-related offenses committed prior to July 1, 2021, who are still incarcerated or on community supervision on July 1, 2022, may receive an automatic hearing to consider modification of their sentence. The bill contains a sunset clause to expire on July 1, 2024. This is a placeholder amendment until a final fiscal impact statement is produced.)
