| Preliminary Fiscal Impact Statement | ||||||
| Current biennium cost increase - ARRA Funds | ||||||
| Fiscal Detail and Notes | ||||||
| The Department of Public Safety will require a one-time Federal Expenditures Fund - ARRA allocation of $90,961 in fiscal year 2010-11 for one Paralegal position, related All Other costs and computer programming costs to implement the requirements of this legislation. Funds exist within the Department of Public Safety's ARRA account to cover these costs and the costs incurred by the Department of Corrections. The allocation of these funds will be accomplished through a financial order upon approval of the Governor. The additional one-time cost to the Department of Corrections is estimated to be $20,000. This bill also expands the potential number of appeals that may be filed in the Superior Court. Appeals filed by registered sex offenders under current law have not resulted in a significant increase in caseload. | ||||||
