The Honorable Russell Jennings, Chairperson
House Committee on Corrections and Juvenile Justice
Statehouse, Room 151B-S
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Jennings:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2009 by Representative Carmichael
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2009 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2009, as introduced, would remove sodomy between persons who are 16 or more years
of age and members of the same sex from the definition of criminal sodomy.
The Office of Judicial Administration indicates that enactment of HB 2009 could reduce
the number of cases courts receive because it removes a crime. However, the fiscal effect cannot
be determined because the number of fewer cases cannot be estimated.
The Kansas Sentencing Commission and the Department of Corrections indicate that
enactment of the bill would have no fiscal effect on the agencies. Any fiscal effect associated with
HB 2009 is not reflected in The FY 2022 Governor’s Budget Report.


Sincerely,

Adam Proffitt
Director of the Budget
