Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
As a new article, the Division of Corrections has no way to predict how many additional offenders would be sentenced to our custody as a result of this new legislation. However, for each additional inmate sentenced to our custody the state can expect an additional cost of $25,444 (FY 2007 Average Per Inmate Cost) per inmate per year. This figure does not include the potential construction costs that may be incurred as the result of a steadily increasing inmate population.
