Dear Representative Lewis:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2192 by House Committee on Corrections and Juvenile
Justice
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2192 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2192 would limit or prohibit work release for individuals convicted of a second or third
offense of non-grid, felony domestic battery. For a second offense within five years, the offender
would be sentenced to 90 days to one year of imprisonment, with a possibility of work release after
serving 45 consecutive days, provided the offender returns to confinement each day. For a third
or subsequent offense, the offender would be sentenced to 90 days to one year of imprisonment,
with no eligibility for work release until after serving 90 consecutive days. In addition to these
penalties, the court would require the offender to undergo a domestic violence offender assessment
conducted by a certified batterer intervention program and follow all recommendations made by
the program, unless otherwise ordered by the court. The bill would specify that if the offender
does not undergo the domestic violence offender assessment and follow all recommendations, the
offender would be required to serve 180 days to one year of imprisonment.
The Sentencing Commission indicates that enactment of the bill would have no effect on
prison admissions or beds, as non-grid penalties are served in county jails rather than state prisons.
The Judiciary indicates that the bill would have no fiscal effect on its operations.
The Honorable Bob Lewis, Chairperson
Page 2—HB 2192
The Kansas Association of Counties indicates that the bill has the potential to increase
county government expenditures on offender supervision and confinement; however, a precise
estimate of this effect cannot be determined.
Sincerely,
Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
