Fiscal Note
Potential current biennium cost increase - General Fund Minor revenue increase - General Fund Minor revenue increase – Other Special Revenue Funds
Correctional and Judicial Impact Statements
	The bill makes several changes to the laws related to sexual exploitation of minors.  It is unclear how many additional individuals could be convicted of crimes and incarcerated who otherwise would not have been. 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. The additional workload associated with the minimal number of new felony cases filed in the court system does not require additional funding at this time. The collection of additional fines will increase General Fund or other dedicated revenue by minor amounts.
