FISCAL NOTE
The fiscal impact to the Department of Corrections is indeterminable due to an unknown number of cases.
Source of Expenditure Increase:
The additional conduct identified in the proposed legislation expands upon a criminal offense punishable by probation or incarceration and creates a potential cost for that supervision or incarceration. Each year of incarceration, per inmate, will cost the State, in current dollars, approximately $33,000 for the cost of incarceration and approximately $10,680 for medical costs. 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:
There are no current measures that would allow for an accurate prediction of the number of individuals sentenced pursuant to the proposed legislation.
