Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):


In the bill’s current form, the Attorney General would be required to compile a list that would require an unknown amount of time and resources. It is anticipated that this task would be handled by current staff. As such, we are providing a fiscal note of zero. That being said, there could ultimately be expenses and costs if cases are prosecuted and this office is involved. Those costs are known known at this time and would be case specific. Also, the compilation of the list could, in practice, necessitate retention and use of expertise not presently within the office, which would be an additional expense.



Memorandum


There would almost certainly be an expense to prosecute cases, which would likely be borne by the various county prosecutors.
