EXPENDITURE EXPLANATION
Proposed law criminalizes abortion. The exact fiscal impact of the passage of this legislation is indeterminable, since the
legislation creates a new crime and it is not known how many individuals will be convicted of the crime. However, any
offender sentenced to the custody of DPS&C increases SGF expenditures by $26.39 per day per offender in adult local
housing and $83.23 per day per offender in a state facility. Any offender convicted of these crimes would cost DPS&C
$9,632 annually ($26.39 per day per offender x 365 days) per offender in adult local housing and $30,379 annually ($83.23
per day per offender x 365 days) per offender in a state facility.
REVENUE EXPLANATION
There may be an indeterminable increase in local funds revenue as a result of potential fines if a person is convicted of this
new crime. The maximum fine is $200,000 and the potential revenue will accrue to the local government entities.
