Establishes new
Class C crimes for prescribing or shipping an abortion-inducing drug or
device by telehealth, telephone, the internet or other digital communication.
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 felony
cases filed in the court system does not require additional funding to the
Judicial Branch at this time.
The collection of additional fine revenue will increase General Fund and
dedicated revenue by minor amounts. |
