Creates Class A,
Class B, Class C and Class D crimes. The bill includes dating partners within
the scope of domestic violence crimes. 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. |
