Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The WVDOC does not record statistics on 1st or 2nd offense DUI’s that have resulted in “serious bodily injury” so we are unable to predict how many additional inmates may be sentenced to our custody as a result of this proposed legislation. However, for each additional inmate sentenced if this bill becomes law, the state can expect a cost of $23,674 per year they are incarcerated (average cost per inmate in FY 2011). DUI offenders in WVDOC custody typically discharge their sentence after 1.5 years (23,674 x 1.5 = $35,511).
