FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Health and Senior Services, Office of the State Public Defender, Office of the State Courts Administrator, Department of Social Services, Department of Corrections, Office of Prosecution Services and the Department of Insurance, Financial Institutions & Professional Registration each assume the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their respective agencies.
Officials from the Office of the Attorney General (AGO) assume the provisions of this proposal do not directly affect the AGO's office. However, AGO assumes that because this proposal has the potential to be the subject of litigation, costs are unknown, but are likely to be less than $100,000.
Oversight assumes, because the potential for litigation is speculative, that the AGO will not incur significant costs related to this proposal. If a fiscal impact were to result, the AGO may request additional funding through the appropriations process.
