SB 176 FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT establishing a fee for probationers and parolees who apply to be supervised in another state.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Corrections states this bill will increase restricted revenue by $38,100 in FY 2010 and each year thereafter. There is no fiscal impact on county and local revenue or state, county and local expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department of Corrections states this bill will allow the Department to charge an application fee of up to $100 for requests made by any person under state probation or parole supervision to transfer to another state. This bill also establishes the probation and parole receipts fund where these fees would be deposited. Using FY 2007 and FY 2008 data, the Department determined for an average year there would be 381 requests to transfer to another state. The Department assumed a $100 application fee would be charged beginning in FY 2010, resulting in an increase of state restricted revenue of approximately $38,100 (381 requests for transfer * $100 fee) in FY 2010 and each year thereafter. The Department will be able to absorb any costs associated with processing the transfer requests as it already provides this function.
