   On page 93, after line 7, insert the following,

   "(g) For offenders or probationers on community supervision whose risk assessment places the offender or probationer in one of the two highest risk categories, the department shall not reduce the classification of the offender or probationer for the duration of the offender or probationer's supervision."

   On page 226, after line 10, insert the following:

         "NEW SECTION. Sec. 728.   AGENCY EXPENDITURES FOR TRAVEL. The office of financial management shall reduce allotments for all agencies for travel by $940,000 from general fund--state appropriations in this act to reflect savings resulting from reducing the private vehicle reimbursement rate for to 44 cents per mile. The general fund allotment reduction shall be placed in unallotted status and remain unexpended."

   Renumber the sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.

--- END ---

EFFECT: For offenders classified as the highest risk to re-offend (Risk Management A and B) when released, the Department of Corrections is required to maintain that classification for the duration of the offender's community supervision. The additional supervision cost of $940,000 per biennium is offset by a reduction in the per-mile reimbursement rate for state employees using private motor vehicles from 48.5 cents per mile to 44 cents per mile.
