Interference with service of process.

09LSO-0175.L1

                                                         

FISCAL NOTE

 

The fiscal impact is indeterminable due to an unknown number of cases. 

 

Source of Expenditure Increase:

Any period of imprisonment for a misdemeanor offense is served in county jail.  Generally, misdemeanant offenders are not sentenced to community supervision.  However, to the degree that offenders are sentenced to probation, there is potential cost for that supervision.  The cost for traditional supervision of a probationer is approximately $1,100 per year, while the cost of supervision for a probationer under the intensive supervision program is approximately $7,300 per year.

 

Assumptions:

Though there are no current measures that would allow for an accurate prediction of the number of individuals sentenced pursuant to the proposed legislation, it is assumed that the actual number of individuals sentenced would be low.
