Fiscal Note

HB0005S01 - Internet Sexual Content - Protection of Minors

State Impact:
Enactment of this bill will require an ongoing appropriation of $47,200 from the General Fund to the Department of Corrections resulting from penalty enhancements specified in the bill. The Department only needs half of that amount in the first year so the amount is reduced by $23,600. Future years will see continued cost increases as the number of incarcerated offenders grow and their sentences extended. This bill will also, by eliminating the adult content registry, create an ongoing savings to the General Fund of $120,000 ($70,000 to the Office of Attorney General and $50,000 to the Department of Commerce). The net impacts are savings of $96,400 in FY 2008 and $72,800 in FY 2009. In addition, Court revenue from the fine increases in HB 5 S1 will generate an additional $4,800 GF annually.
