Senate Bill 96 eliminates outdated language involving elected county officials; requires prosecuting attorneys to be full time beginning January 1, 2013, except those currently part-time; adds training for circuit clerks and their assistants and employees; transfers some training from the Tax Commissioner to the State Auditor; removes archaic limitations on travel expenses; permits a sheriff to turn over an impounded dog to the humane society or similar organization; and eliminates limitation on prisoner costs in certain counties.

Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
Contrary to my previous fiscal note, the fiscal impact of Senate Bill 96 will be around $200,000, for the training costs incurred by the State Auditor (per the State Auditor’s Office). Removal of limitations on travel expenses and prisoner costs are only effectuating current practices based upon other provisions of the Code, so there should be no additional cost.
Memorandum
I apologize for the original fiscal note.
