Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


Summarize in a clear and concise manner what impact this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government. The WVDCR does not see a quantifiable fiscal impact to this draft legislation. There are operational procedures and policies in place that outline inmate eligibility to participate on an inmate work crew and the supervision level that is necessary. The agency does not see a significant change to the Commissioner's obligation with this draft legislation, rather an enhanced ability to provide public service.
