Bill > HB787

This bill prohibits a judge from placing a condition on community supervision that would prevent a defendant from contacting or interacting with a person who belongs to an organization that includes individuals with criminal histories, such as those currently on community supervision or parole. The organization must engage in activities like working with the community on criminal justice issues, offering programs to assist formerly incarcerated individuals, and advocating for criminal justice reform. The bill applies to defendants placed on community supervision on or after September 1, 2021, regardless of when the underlying offense was committed.
