Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
The State Auditor’s Office does not have access to records which would identify and quantify the number of incidents where either the State of West Virginia or political subdivisions of the State have been subjected to a financial payout resulting from legal actions filed asserting liability for injury to persons performing voluntary court-ordered community service. The most likely impact of the proposed Bill is to decrease governmental expenditures at all levels of government (State, County and Municipal) cutting across all Fund Types (State General Revenue; Special Revenue; and, Local Governmental Funds. However, we lack the data to project the potential cost savings.
Memorandum
We would recommend a Fiscal Note Request be referred to the State Board of Risk and Insurance Management as a possible source for financial information regarding liability claims such as those claims mentioned in the proposed legislation.
