ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Corrections did not respond to our fiscal impact request.
In response to a prior version of this proposal, officials from the Office of Prosecution Services assumed any costs relating to passage of this proposal can be absorbed.
Officials from the Department of Revenue, Department of Public Safety, Office of the State Public Defender and the Office of the State Courts Administrator assume the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.
Officials from the Office of the Attorney General (AGO) assume that, in the near term, costs can be absorbed because the main provisions of this proposal do not take effect until July 1, 2006. After July 1, 2006, AGO assumes costs of investigating complaints are unknown but anticipates that costs would be less than $100,000.
