FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Public Safety - Director’s Office, Department of Insurance, Financial Institutions and Professional Registration, and Office of State Courts Administrator assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organizations.
Officials from the Office of Prosecution Services (OPS) state because the provisions of this proposal creates new criminal laws, the OPS assumes it would have a direct fiscal impact on county prosecutors from an increase in the number of cases referred for prosecution. However, the OPS is not able to establish an estimate of the additional criminal cases that would be referred to the County Prosecutors for charges.
It is assumed this proposal would not have a significant direct fiscal impact on the OPS.
Oversight assumes county prosecutors could absorb any additional costs incurred as a result of the proposed legislation within existing resources.
Officials from the Office of Attorney General (AGO) did not respond to our request for a statement of fiscal impact. However, in response to the perfected version of this proposal, the AGO assumed any costs associated with this proposal could be absorbed with existing resources. The AGO also stated if it receives a large number of complaints about owners who intentionally fail to carry adequate insurance, the AGO may seek necessary appropriations to do the work necessary to prosecute those cases.
