A bill that would criminalize disabling or removing ankle monitors is one step closer to becoming law in Texas.
about six months ago, is heading to Gov. Greg Abbott after the House took its final vote on the legislation Tuesday. The bill passed the Senate in late March.
If the bill is signed into law, parolees and people out on bond who knowingly remove or disable their ankle monitor will face a felony charge. Intentionally cutting off an ankle monitor currently is an administrative violation, not a criminal offense. If a parolee removes their monitor, they would have to serve the rest of their original sentence. A judge would decide whether the new sentence would run concurrently with the rest of the person’s original sentence or would start after their original sentence.
The charge would not be brought against someone whose ankle monitor is removed by a health care provider for medical purposes. Abbott will decide whether to sign the bill into law or veto it. His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.
