FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Corrections (DOC) assume parole intervention fees collected from offenders would be lost due to passage of this proposal. The annual amount per offender is $360 or $30 per month. There are currently approximately 16,000 parolees and although the collection rate isn’t 100%, the potential exists for a substantial fiscal impact.
In summary, the potential fiscal impact for the DOC is unknown, but expected to easily exceed $100,000 per annum.
