Digest
HB 2729 prohibits the use of hearsay evidence in hearings for individuals charged with violating conditions of release from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The bill amends Section 508.281 of the Government Code to explicitly state that hearsay evidence is not admissible in such hearings. This change ensures that only firsthand testimony and evidence meeting standard admissibility criteria can be considered.
