Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


The WVDOC does not record statistics on the number of police dogs harmed 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). An offender sentenced to 3-15 years would cost the state at least ($23,674 x 3 = $71,022) if they receive parole after the minimum of three years.
