This bill
specifies additional class A, B, C and D crimes that do not qualify for
immunity from arrest, prosecution and revocation and termination proceedings
when assistance has been requested for a suspected drug-related overdose. The
current average cost of incarcerating one individual for a single year is
$55,203.
The additional workload associated with the minimal number of new cases
filed in the court system does not require additional funding at this time.
The collection of additional fine revenue will increase General Fund and
dedicated revenue by minor amounts. |
