Fiscal Note Summary


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


House Bill 2357 requires the Attorney General top develop an education diversion program for minors may be accused of transmitting sexually explicit material of a minor to another minor. The program shall address legal consequences and penalties, the effects on relationships, loss of educational opportunities, and employment. The program should educate the participant on the connection between bullying, cyber-bullying and minor sharing sexually explicit material. In addition may set forth procedural, interpretive rules, and legislative rules for legislative approval. We project a total cost of $57,056.00 for an attorney to work two months investigating program needs, two developing program, and two months writing rules and procedures.

The Bill needs to address State Correctional Cost, Regional Jail Cost, and any amount that may be needed to be recouped by administrative fees. None of these issues belong to the Attorney General's Office.
