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 2283 by House Committee on Corrections and Juvenile
Justice
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2283 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2283 would amend current law to exempt from mitigating factors to be considered in
determining a departure where the victim was the aggressor or participant in the criminal conduct,
sexually violent crimes or electronic solicitation, when the victim is less than 14 years of age and
offender is 18 years of age or older, or if the offender hires any person by giving, or offering or
agreeing to give, anything of value to the person engaged in an unlawful sexual act.
The Office of Judicial Administration indicates enactment of HB 2283 would have a
negligible fiscal effect on the operations of the Judicial Branch. The Kansas Sentencing
Commission indicates enactment of HB 2283 could result in additional prison beds and
admissions; however, the Commission cannot estimate an effect. Any fiscal effect associated with
HB 2283 is not reflected in The FY 2020 Governor’s Budget Report.


Sincerely,

Larry L. Campbell
Director of the budget
