Fiscal note

Cost: up to $320,000 Compare with other bills

Senate File 450 expands the charges for dependent adult abuse and the penalties applicable under Iowa Code chapters 235B and 235E, and the fiscal impact cannot be estimated. The average cost per conviction of second degree murder is approximately $320,000. The cost estimate includes operating costs incurred by the Judicial Branch, the State Public Defender, and the Department of Corrections for one conviction.
