The Honorable Kellie Warren, Chairperson
Senate Committee on Judiciary
300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 346-S
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Senator Warren:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for SB 473 by Senate Committee on Judiciary
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 473 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
SB 473 would specify that a complaint, as it relates to criminal procedure, is valid if it is
signed by a law enforcement officer. The bill would also designate a complaint as valid if it is a
notice to appear issued by a law enforcement officer for any unclassified misdemeanor or
nonperson misdemeanor if there is a memorandum of agreement (MOA) between the law
enforcement agency and the county or district attorney in the jurisdiction where the notice to
appear is issued and the notice to appear complies with the requirements of the MOA.
The Office of Judicial Administration indicates enactment of the bill would have a
negligible fiscal effect that could be absorbed within existing resources.
Sincerely,
Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
