Explanation
The bill creates a new class D felony for false statements in law
enforcement and Department of Correction records, which results in a
potential cost to the Department of Correction and the Judicial
Department for incarceration or probation and a potential revenue gain
to the General Fund from fines. On average, the marginal cost to the
state for incarcerating an offender for the year is $3,300
1
while the
average marginal cost for supervision in the community is less than
$600
2
each year for adults.
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. 2025SB-01436-R000798-FN.docx Page 2 of 2
