Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
We can not determine an exact fiscal impact as this is a new law. I can state that a person convicted as a misdemeanor, first offense would cost the agency $73.07 per day (jail). If they were to be convicted of a second offense, felony it would cost our agency $97.13 per day (prisons). These figures are taken from our 2024 annual report on cost per day averages for jails and prisons.
Funds used for these amounts are Special Revenue for Jail costs and General Budget for prisons costs.

Memorandum
We can not determine an exact fiscal impact as this is a new law. I can state that a person convicted as a misdemeanor, first offense would cost the agency $73.07 per day (jail) $26670 Annually. If they were to be convicted of a second offense, felony it would cost our agency $97.13 per day (prisons)$35452.00 Annually. These figures are taken from our 2024 annual report on cost per day averages for jails and prisons. There are too many variables for the felony charge such as being granted parole or not after serving pone year minimum.
Funds used for these amounts are Special Revenue for Jail costs and General Budget for prisons costs.
There is no data for us to analyze to determine how many people would not register and how may would be misdemeanor and felony again because this is a new law.
