Fiscal note

Cost: up to $16,600 Compare with other bills

House File 2446 modifies an existing criminal offense, and the fiscal impact cannot be estimated because it is not known how many past offenses involved multiple images of the same minor. The average State cost per offense for a Class D felony ranges from $9,100 to $16,600. The average State cost per offense for an aggravated misdemeanor ranges from $4,900 to $9,500.
