Correctional and Judicial Impact Statements
	The bill creates a Class C crime for unauthorized paramilitary training. The current average cost of incarcerating one individual for a single year is $55,203. No funding has been included in the bill at this time. This bill may increase the number of civil suits filed in the court system. 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 filing fees will increase General Fund revenue by minor amounts.
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Authorizing the Attorney General to bring a civil action to restrain or prevent unauthorized paramilitary training may result in additional costs to the Office of the Attorney General which are expected to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
