Fiscal Detail
and Notes |

|
|
The bill modifies
an existing Class B crime of aggravated reckless conduct to include the
willful destruction of property. It is unclear how many additional
individuals will be convicted of a Class B crime who otherwise would not have
been. The current average cost of incarcerating an individual for a single
year is $55,203. The Department of Corrections has not indicated the need for
additional funding at this time and no funding is included in the bill. |
