Fiscal Note
HB0131 - Document Fraud
State Impact:
To implement provisions of this bill, it is estimated that the Attorney General's Office will require an on-going appropriation from the General Fund of $381,600 for additional attorneys, investigators and related costs. In addition, there will be a one-time need in FY 2008 of $14,000 for start-up costs and equipment. Depending on the situation, it is possible that to be able to fully enforce provisions of this legislation, additional resources will be required. While the bill provides for funds collected from any civil action pursued shall go to the Attorney General Litigation Fund, there is some doubt as to how significant those collections might be.
