OFA Fiscal Note
State Impact: None
Municipal Impact: None
Explanation
The bill expands the Attorney General’s powers and allows him to
issue subpoenas when conducting investigations. It also establishes a
civil penalty of up to $2,500 for each hate crime or civil rights violation.
This provision is not anticipated to result in a fiscal impact as the
majority of cases under the bill are expected to result in a court order
opposed to the issuance of monetary penalties.
Senate "B" makes clarifying change that is not anticipated to have a
fiscal impact on the state or municipalities.
