The Honorable Russell Jennings, Chairperson
House Committee on Corrections and Juvenile Justice
Statehouse, Room 151-S
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Jennings:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2268 by House Committee on Corrections and Juvenile
Justice
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2268 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2268 would delete sodomy between persons who are 16 or more years old and members
of the same sex from the definition of criminal sodomy.
The Office of Judicial Administration states the bill’s provision that decriminalize actions
that could be charged as crimes under current law could result in fewer criminal charges being
filed. According to the Office, a fiscal effect cannot be estimated until the Judicial Branch has had
an opportunity to operate under the bill’s provisions. Any fiscal effect associated with HB 2268
is not reflected in The FY 2020 Governor’s Budget Report.


Sincerely,

Larry L. Campbell
Director of the budget
