HB 1485 - STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT
I want to ensure that the Texas Grocery Access Investment program is able to provide financing and technical assistance to projects that will be successful. At the committee hearing, the Texas Retailers Association (TRA) registered in opposition to HB 1485, expressing concerns with the sufficiency of established guidelines and criteria in place to ensure the projects approved have the highest chance of success. Subsequent discussions have resulted in the following recommendations, and with these recommendations, TRA has removed their opposition. When establishing guidelines and criteria for approving projects and financing for the Texas Grocery Access Investment program, the Texas Department of Agriculture should reference, among others, the New Orleans Fresh Food Retailer Initiative and the Pennsylvania Fresh Food Financing Initiative. These two programs are proven models for successful grocery access programs that ensure eligible projects have the capacity to succeed. For example, Pennsylvania's investment of $30 million attracted a total of $194 million in private dollars that helped develop 88 supermarkets and fresh food outlets in underserved rural and urban areas throughout the state, creating or retaining 5,000 jobs in those communities.

(2) on target to achieve equitable distribution of intra-district funding; or
(3) not equitable, with regard to the distribution of intra-district funding.

(d-1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter and subject to Subsection (e-1), a person who is convicted of and has satisfied the judgment for or who has received a dismissal after deferral of disposition for a fine-only misdemeanor, other than a traffic offense or an offense under a municipal ordinance or county order, may petition the court that convicted or granted a dismissal to the person for an order of nondisclosure under this subsection. After notice to the state, the court shall hold a hearing on whether the person is entitled to file the petition and whether issuance of the order is in the best interest of justice. In determining whether granting the order is in the best interest of justice, the court may consider any factors the court considers relevant. If the court determines that granting the order is in the best interest of justice, the court shall issue an order prohibiting criminal justice agencies from disclosing to the public criminal history record information related to the fine-only misdemeanor offense that is the subject of the petition. As a condition of granting the petition under this subsection for a person convicted of the offense, a court may require the defendant to perform community service, pay a fee, or both perform the community service and pay the fee as if the defendant had been placed on probation pending deferred disposition under Article 45.051, Code of Criminal Procedure.

A person may petition the court for an order of nondisclosure under this subsection only on or after the first anniversary of the conviction or dismissal, as applicable.
(d-2) A person eligible for an order of nondisclosure under Subsection (d-1) who is also eligible for an order of expunction under Chapter 55, Code of Criminal Procedure, for that offense may petition under either provision or both, as appropriate.
(e-1) A person is not entitled to petition the court under Subsection (d-1) if the person has been previously convicted of or placed on deferred adjudication for any offense other than an offense under the Transportation Code punishable by fine only, regardless of whether that offense is subject to an order of nondisclosure of criminal history record information granted under this section or any other law.
(f) For purposes of Subsections [Subsection] (d), (e), and (e-1), a person is considered to have been placed on deferred adjudication community supervision if, regardless of the statutory authorization:
(1) the person entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere;
(2) the judge deferred further proceedings without entering an adjudication of guilt and placed the person under the supervision of the court or an officer under the supervision of the court; and
(3) at the end of the period of supervision, the judge dismissed the proceedings and discharged the person.
(f-1) A person who petitions the court for an order of nondisclosure under Subsection (d) or (d-1) may file the petition in person, electronically, or by mail. The petition must be accompanied by payment of a $28 fee to the clerk of the court in addition to any other fee that generally applies to the filing of a civil petition. The Office of Court Administration of the Texas Judicial System shall prescribe a form for the filing of a petition electronically or by mail. The form must provide for the petition to be accompanied by the required fees and any other supporting material determined necessary by the office of court administration, including evidence that the person is entitled to file the petition. The office of court administration shall make available on its Internet website the electronic application and printable application form. Each county or district clerk's office that maintains an Internet website shall include on that website a link to the electronic application and printable application form available on the office of court administration's Internet website. On receipt of a petition under this subsection, the court shall provide notice to the state and an opportunity for a hearing on whether the person is entitled to file the petition and issuance of the order is in the best interest of justice. The court shall hold a hearing before determining whether to issue an order of nondisclosure, except that a hearing is not required if:
(1) the state does not request a hearing on the issue before the 45th day after the date on which the state receives notice under this subsection; and
(2) the court determines that:
(A) the defendant is entitled to file the petition; and
(B) the order is in the best interest of justice.
(h) The clerk of a court that collects a fee paid under Subsection (f-1) for a petition filed under Subsection (d) [(d)] shall remit the fee to the comptroller not later than the last day of the month following the end of the calendar quarter in which the fee is collected, and the comptroller shall deposit the fee in the general revenue fund.
(h-1) The clerk of a court that collects a fee paid under Subsection (f-1) for a petition filed under Subsection (d-1) shall deposit the fee to the credit of the general fund of the municipality or county, as applicable.
(h-2) The Department of Public Safety shall submit a report to the legislature not later than December 1 of each even-numbered year that includes information on:
(1) the number of petitions for nondisclosure and orders of nondisclosure received by the department in each of the previous two years;
(2) the actions taken by the department with respect to the petitions and orders received;
(3) the costs incurred by the department in taking those actions; and
(4) the number of persons who are the subject of an order of nondisclosure and who became the subject of criminal charges for an offense committed after the order was issued.

SECTION ____. Section 12.44, Penal Code, is amended by adding Subsection (c) to read as follows:
(c) With the written consent of the prosecuting attorney prior to sentencing, the court may amend the record of conviction to reflect a conviction for a Class A misdemeanor in lieu of a state jail felony as provided by Section 15(l), Article 42.12, Code of Criminal Procedure.
SECTION ____. The changes in law made by this Act in amending Section 15, Article 42.12, Code of Criminal Procedure, and adding Section 12.44(c), Penal Code, apply only to a defendant who is placed on community supervision for an offense committed on or after the effective date of this Act. A defendant who is placed on community supervision for an offense committed before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the date the offense was committed, and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. For purposes of this section, an offense was committed before the effective date of this Act if any element of the offense occurred before that date.
