EXPENDITURE EXPLANATION
Proposed law may result in an indeterminable increase in Local Funds expenditures for local governing authorities if a person is convicted
of unlawful dissemination or sale of images of another created by artificial intelligence. The exact fiscal impact of the passage of this
legislation to local governing authorities is indeterminable, since it creates a crime, and is not known how many people will be convicted
and incarcerated in local facilities, nor the length of the sentences assessed with those convictions as a result of its potential enactment.
The maximum imprisonment term is no more than six months at the local level.
There is no anticipated direct material effect on state governmental expenditures as a result of this measure because this legislation
creates a misdemeanor offense; therefore, these offenders are not sentenced to Department of Public Safety & Corrections - Corrections
Services (DPS&C).
REVENUE EXPLANATION
Proposed law may result in an indeterminable increase in local revenues as a result of convictions of unlawful dissemination or sale of
images of another created by artificial intelligence. The exact fiscal impact of the passage of this legislation on local revenue is
indeterminable because the fines imposed for conviction of proposed law are optional, and the amount of the fines imposed on those
convicted may vary. The potential revenue will accrue to the local governing authority.
