Criminal street gangs.

10LSO-0017.L1

FISCAL NOTE

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

Source of Expenditure Increase:

The creation of a new misdemeanant criminal offense for intimidation in furtherance of the interests of a criminal street gang creates a potential cost for any supervision required as a result of a sentence of probation for that offense.  The cost for community supervision of a probationer is approximately $2,000 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.
