Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The proposed language would change the minimum sentence for this offense from 1 year to 3.75 years. Currently the Division of Corrections has 8 inmates incarcerated for this offense, with 6 of those being committed to the WVDOC during 2015. If an average of 6 commitments per year remains the norm the State of West Virginia can expect increased costs of $170,214 during FY2017 (6 inmates x $28,369 average annual cost per year per inmate). These additional annual costs increase as more inmates get committed in subsequent years through FY2019 when the first year's commitments become eligible for parole. In FY2019 the annual cost stabilizes to $510,642 per year ongoing.
