Fiscal note

Can’t be estimated Compare with other bills

The fiscal impact of SF 2360 cannot be estimated due to a lack of data. Table 4 below shows the average State cost per offense class for one conviction of an aggravated misdemeanor, Class D felony, Class C felony, and Class B felony. The estimated impact to the State General Fund includes operating costs incurred by the Judicial Branch, the Indigent Defense Fund, and the Department of Corrections (DOC).
