Establishes new
Class A crimes. The bill adds the trafficking of compounds, mixtures or
substances containing a detectable amount of a scheduled drug to the crime of
aggravated trafficking of scheduled drugs. 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. |
