Explanation
The bill creates a new class D felony for enticing a juvenile to
commit a criminal act and results in a potential cost for incarceration or
probation and a potential revenue gain from fines. On average, the
marginal cost to the state for incarcerating an offender for the year is
$2,200
1
while the average marginal cost for supervision in the
community is less than $700
2
each year.
1
Inmate marginal cost is based on increased consumables (e.g. food, clothing, water,
sewage, living supplies, etc.) This does not include a change in staffing costs or utility
expenses because these would only be realized if a unit or facility opened.
2
Probation marginal cost is based on services provided by private providers and
only includes costs that increase with each additional participant. This does not
include a cost for additional supervision by a probation officer unless a new offense
is anticipated to result in enough additional offenders to require additional probation
officers. 2021SB-01093-R01-FN.DOCX Page 2 of 2
The bill also adds additional crimes that are not eligible for erasure,
requires the Judicial Department to conduct a study on various causes
for juvenile recidivism, and makes other technical and clarifying
changes that do not result in a fiscal impact.
Senate "A" creates the new class felony which results in a potential
cost to the Department of Correction, the Judicial Department, and a
potential revenue gain to the state, described above. The amendment
makes other various changes that do not result in a fiscal impact.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to the number of violations.
