Three-hundred and eighty-seven bills (both Senate and House) were referred to the Senate Criminal Justice Committee, which conducted hearings on 260 bills, passing to the Senate floor 245, of which 131 were passed to enrolled and have become new laws. Thoroughly vetting of these bills was necessary to maintain the balance that has been achieved between addressing crimes and leveling out our adult prison populations. Concerning the adult system, within SB 1, the State budget, the TDCJ reforms of 2007 were funded for the completion and implementation of the planned treatment programs (6000 treatment beds and programs).
