SB 1078 Fact Sheet 2023 Legislative Session
March 28, 2023
SB 1078 seeks to increase access and opportunities to housing, education, and employment for people facing the reintegrative challenges associated with having a criminal legal record. This bill amends Section 20.05(a)(4) of the state’s Business and Commerce Code to reduce the duration that a consumer reporting agency can report on an indictment, record of arrest, or conviction from 7 to 4 years. This proposed change brings the code in line with research, that shows that a person’s risk of recidivating significantly decreases over time.
