Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
This would have a possible impact on the Gen Reve budget of the Dept of Homeland Security of approximately $200,000 for an attorney with expertise and knowledge of death penalty cases. ( I allowed for a higher salary since there may be a need for someone with knowledge and experience in the area of death penalty cases)
Memorandum
This bill would affect DCR more than it would the DHS office. DCR has submitted a fiscal note for this bill.
We believe this would require the Dpet of Homeland Security to hire additional legal counsel to address these cases
