Fiscal Note
Potential current biennium cost increase - General Fund
Fiscal Detail and Notes
The expense to the Governor's office for making any reward payments cannot be determined because it is not known if or when such a payment might be needed.  However, given the low probability that any payments will be needed in the next biennium, no appropriation is made for this purpose at this time and if a payment is needed the Governor will need to come back to the Legislature for funding.  The minor cost associated with applying to the Governor for a reward to be made available can be absorbed by the Attorney General.
