The bill creates
Class B and Class C crimes for racketeering. It is unclear how many
additional individuals will be convicted of Class B or Class C crimes who
otherwise would not have been. The current average cost of incarcerating one
individual for a single year is $55,203. No appropriations have been included
in the bill.
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. |
